feat: relay OwnCast /me messages as IRC CTCP ACTION with bold attribution

When an OwnCast user sends "/me claps", the bridge now relays it as a
proper CTCP ACTION so IRC clients render it natively. The username is
bolded with mIRC \x02 for visual attribution.

OwnCast `/me` to IRC CTCP ACTION

Task

Detect when OwnCast users type /me does something and relay the message to IRC as a proper CTCP ACTION so IRC clients render it natively as an action, with bold attribution on the username.

Changes Made

src/router.rs: Extracted format_owncast_to_irc() function. When the body starts with /me , strips the prefix and wraps the outbound string as \x01ACTION {prefix} \x02{username}\x02 {action_body}\x01. Added 5 unit tests covering: action formatting, multi-word actions, normal passthrough, bare /me without space, and /me mid-message.
src/irc_task.rs: Updated outbound handler to detect strings starting with \x01 and send them as raw Command::PRIVMSG (preserving the CTCP wrapper) instead of using send_privmsg which would double-escape.

Result

OwnCast user sends: /me claps
IRC clients see: * bridge-bot [OC] **viewer42** claps (bold username via mIRC formatting)
Normal messages are unaffected.

Follow-up

None identified. All 60 tests pass.
