My previous attempt at introducing a bit of nick-regaining functionality
came as a hook called `erc-nickname-in-use-functions' that only targeted
a narrow use case involving stale nicks and automatic reconnections; it
was admittedly inadequate. I've since redone it as a new (somewhat
experimental) local module to live in erc-services.el alongside the main
`services' module, which it's likely incompatible with since it expects
confirmation of authentication before MOTD's end. If anyone feels
strongly that it should play nicer with traditional `services' (in a way
that preserves existing behavior, of course), please explain why and
(preferably) how. Thanks.

P.S. In the meantime, I'm going to go ahead and revert the hook-based
version, which has been on HEAD for over a month now, so folks don't get
too used to it.
