README: Move wasp-os community chat to libera.chat

Browse source 
We also update the recommendation for those new to IRC to use
a matrix/IRC bridge instead of a simple IRC web client since that
should make the community a bit more interactive.

If you are curious about the move to libera.chat take a look at
the Linux Weekly News summary of the beginning of the end
(https://lwn.net/Articles/857140/ ) together with these
testimonials about the behaviour of the new freenode staff
which I think makes clear we have reached the end of the end:

So... we're moving... and sorry for not making this decision sooner!

The wasp-os community is centred around the
`github project <https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os>`_ and is
supplemented with instant messaging via the #wasp-os IRC channel at
freenode.net.
libera.chat .
If you are unfamiliar with IRC we recommend the
`offical freenode web client <https://webchat.freenode.net/#wasp-os>`_. Choose
a nickname, leave *I have a password* unchecked, set the *Channel* to
**#wasp-os** and click **Start**. That's it!
If you are unfamiliar with IRC and don't have a preferred client then
we recommend connecting to libera.chat using the
`matrix/IRC bridge <https://app.element.io/#/room/#wasp-os:libera.chat>`_.
The matrix bridge will allow us to receive messages whilst offline. Follow
the link above and, if you do not already have a matrix account, register
yourself. That should be enough to get you chatting!
