Feature:Multi-backend support

A lot of people think we're crazy for using the IRC protocol as core transport. In the long run, it would probably make sense to add support for multiple protocols side-by-side. For example, why not have an XMPP group chat next to an IRC chat. That's what Sockethub is for after all. Could even be a Gitter channel or something other that is usually closed-source and centralized.
Also, as we're building Hyperchannel as componentized app from the start, integrating different transport protocols isn't difficult in regards to the UI integration.
