[PATCH] Prevent ERC from sending spurious PART messages

[Victor J. Orlikowski]

In the existing code, ERC can send a spurious PART message to the
server, if a given channel has already been closed, through the
operation of erc-channel-hook. The following patch ensures that
erc-channel-hook checks to see that the channel is still live,
before sending the PART message.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Ensure that PART doesn't get sent to an already-PARTed
 channel.
