NOTE: this requires matrix-org/node-irc#48 to be merged to build correctly (it references that commit in the package-lock)
this allows authenticating through sasl external on services like freenode by specifying cert and key and setting saslMode to EXTERNAL. tested on freenode from my ec2 instance
see the node-irc pull for more info
this also gets around the issue of having a hardcoded bot name since the external auth on freenode doesn't care if your nickname matches
