Adds new capabilities or functionality
Summary
The bot should have the ability to set user modes on itself, notably +B (bot).
Background
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:
Many networks request that non-human users set mode +B on themselves to indicate that they're a bot. This doesn't currently seem to be possible in TeleIRC.
Describe the solution you'd like:
TeleIRC should have a config parameter like
IRC_BOT_MODES="+B"
– possibly even have +B be the default – and should set these modes on itself after connecting.Describe alternatives you've considered:
IRCv3 has a draft for bot mode, which should be implemented in the future when it's graduated from draft status and has wider support.
Details

botmode
pluginSopel, a python IRC bot framework, sets mode +B by default. docs
Outcome
TeleIRC users are able to easily or automatically abide by network operators' request to set mode +B on non-human clients.
