• add support for strikethrough formatting
• update network list (including Libra.Chat as the default)

• remove libnotify dependency on Linux, fixing hangs when notifications are shown
• remove libproxy dependency on Linux
• print ChanServ notices in the front tab by default

The existing patch does not seem to be needed.

Looks like this adds a dependency to ​https://cffi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/, ​https://github.com/eliben/pycparser

New python plugin introduces two new dependencies (cffi, pycparser). Disable python by default.
