[cfe-dev] Can we remove llvmbb from IRC?

[Reid Kleckner via cfe-dev]

I'm not on IRC anymore, so my opinion matters less, but I think it's time
to shut it down. It is a relic from a different time when there were fewer
bots, fewer contributors, and more IRC users. These days it generates too
many notifications and the audience isn't as well targeted.
