Update the IRC link from Freenode to Libera.chat.

[empatogen]

The wiki entry for IRC is updated and points to Libera.chat, while the actual IRC link in readme.html still points to Freenode. I created a pull requested that change the link to point to #wordpress on Libera's webchat.

See: ​https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/pull/561

Ah, my bad! Cheers for pointing that out! I've now created a new PR in the right repo. :-)

Reopening for backport consideration.

This is a low-risk change that will help users who are searching for support.

Looks good to backport.
