Allow eggdrops to connect to nickserv at runtime

Description

Allow eggdrops to connect to nickserv at runtime

Summary:
Currently, Freenode is under heavy attack, with a lot of channels
using restricted mode. As such, it's especially important to be
connected to nickserv at startup.

It's possible to ask automatic nickserv login if we set a server
password following the "nickname:password" format.

A difficulty is nickserv passwords is stored in database, and
need the registry command to query it. That requires to
reorder options a little bit, and so it introduces a little
less readable configuration, as TCL scripts and settings are
both split in two.

Test Plan:
Restart service for Wearg, at login it was connected.
