Update IRC-related references to point to Libera.Chat

channels following suit [2], update IRC-related references to reflect
the migration.

* Changes in Emacs 27.3
+++
** Update IRC-related references to point to Libera.Chat.
In June 2021, the Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project moved
their official IRC channels from the Freenode network to Libera.Chat
in the aftermath of the changes in Freenode's governance structure and
policies in May and June 2021. The decision-making process took into
account the feedback received from the community against a set of
criteria devised by a working group drawn from both GNU and the FSF
to gauge a chat network's acceptability to software freedom activists.
For the original announcement and the follow-up update, including more
details, see:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2021-06/msg00005.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2021-06/msg00007.html
Given the relocation of GNU and FSF's official IRC channels, as well
as #emacs and various other Emacs-themed channels (see the link below)
to Libera.Chat, IRC-related references in the Emacs repository have
now been updated to point to Libera.Chat.
