The Lounge, Modified

This is a modified version of The Lounge, a self-hosted browser-based IRC client, with some fixes to make it look and feel more like HexChat:

• less padding / higher information density
• increase font sizes slightly
• make default theme black on light gray-brown
• use xchat/hexchat's nick coloring algorithm and colors
• remove the in-message nick highlighting feature because of false positives
• remove the in-message #channel detection feature because of false positives
• scroll instantly instead of smoothly on PgUp/PgDn
• show seconds in timestamps by default
• remove the not-secure icon for unencrypted IRC connections
• don't automatically focus newly joined channels

Please note: the commits in branch prime will be rebased once in a while on top of thelounge master.
