run daemon as the irker user (Close: #832758)
this is an improvement upon the default .service file. it requires a
irker user to be created, something which is automatically handled by
the debian package, but should be handled by other distributions when
deploying the .service file.
there are obvious dangers in running irkerd as root: a compromise
would be catastrophic, and since it runs on public servers that are
traditionnally pretty hostile (IRC), it seems critical that rights of
the daemon be limited.
