docs: clarify IRC managed proxy coverage (#76822)

Summary:

## Security defaults
- IRC uses raw TCP/TLS sockets outside OpenClaw operator-managed forward proxy routing. In deployments that require all egress through that forward proxy, set `channels.irc.enabled=false` unless direct IRC egress is explicitly approved.
- `channels.irc.dmPolicy` defaults to `"pairing"`.
- `channels.irc.groupPolicy` defaults to `"allowlist"`.
- With `groupPolicy="allowlist"`, set `channels.irc.groups` to define allowed channels.
