Split irc messages into chunks
From Zephyr:

This might be an IRC limitation. RFC 1459 says:
"IRC messages are always lines of characters terminated with a CR-LF
(Carriage Return - Line Feed) pair, and these messages shall not
exceed 512 characters in length, counting all characters including
the trailing CR-LF. Thus, there are 510 characters maximum allowed
for the command and its parameters. There is no provision for
continuation message lines. See section 7 for more details about
current implementations."
(I didn't read the rest of the RFC to know how many other bytes are
involved in sending a message.)
I chose 450 to be the default cut-off semi-arbitrarily; freenode seems
to allow up to about 463 characters (to channel #agda, with username
jgross).
