- Remove ircnet-specific +arO cmodes from /help mode.

- Keep non-rfc1459 +eI as they are very common.
- Change heading to "common channel modes" and add a remark
  below referring the user to network-specific documentation;
  because we use 005 CHANMODES it is less important which
  cmodes irssi knows internally.
- Some minor tweaking.

a - Anonymous - No-one's nick name, host or anything else can be
seen. All messages, joins, parts, modes, etc. are seen as coming
from nick "anonymous", this could be pretty confusing but nice
feature if you want total anonymity. This mode can only be set,
never unset. This mode isn't supported by all servers.
NOTE: there is/was one bug :) Channel operators can guess if some
nick might be in the channel and try to kick it. If nick was in
channel, everyone will see the nick that was kicked.
r - Re-op - If a channel becomes opless for longer than LDCTL (5400,
by default) seconds, op a random person on the channel (or everyone
if channel has less than 6 members). This works only on !channels.
This mode can only be set and unset by channel creator.
b - Set/remove ban. For example MODE #channel +b *!*@*.org bans
everyone from .org domain.
If someone from .org domain was already in channel before the
ban was set, he/she couldn't be able to write any messages to
channel (doesn't work with all servers).

Bans can also be overridden with /INVITE, although many stupid

e - Ban exceptions. You could for example ban everyone from
*!*@*.org but set ban exception to *!*@*.host.org - works only
in IRCnet/EFnet servers.

use for details.
