Warn of absent networks module in ERC
* doc/misc/erc.texi: Add linkable note in Modules chapter about some
modules being required. Also tweak markup in auth-source section.
* etc/ERC-NEWS: Mention the special role of `networks'.
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc--server-post-connect-hook): Add
internal hook for core modules to perform post-network-process,
pre-protocol config validation even when they haven't been loaded.
(erc--register-connection): Run `erc--server-post-connect-hook'.
* lisp/erc/erc-networks.el (erc-networks--bouncer-targets,
erc-networks-on-MOTD-end): Fix comments and doc strings. Also change
former from constant to internal variable in case adjustment needed
between releases.
(erc-networks--warn-on-connect): New function to warn about the
`networks' module being absent from `erc-modules'. This could
probably run at any time up to and including when the logical IRC
connection is established, but doing so at the process/protocol
boundary seems ideal.
* lisp/erc/erc-sasl.el (erc--register-connection): Defer to base
method instead of calling `erc-login' explicitly.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-generate-new-buffer-name): Don't reconcile
buffer names when networks module not in play.
(erc-format-target-and/or-network): Don't assume networks module
loaded.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-scenarios-base-unstable.el:
(erc-scenarios-networks-no-module): New test.
* test/lisp/erc/resources/networks/no-module/basic.eld: New test data
file. (Bug#60331.)
