Don't force IRC off if not listening, do force it off if IPv4 is off.

Previously Bitcoin would refuse to use IRC if it was either not
accepting inbound connections or not making outbound. Instead this
changes it to not use IRC only if it's not doing either or if
IPv4 is off completely. If Bitcoin is not listening this will use
the default random nicks rather than the IP based ones.
