irc: keep the keyboard live during RX floods (poll input every pass)
'/join #sl0p right after connect' looked broken: the main loop only polled input when net_recv_nb returned nothing, and 'continue'd on every received segment. During a big MOTD (irc.sl0p.foo's is ~60 lines of color art) that starved input for the whole ~20s flood - the OSK wouldn't even open, and keystrokes were dropped. gbtype input fared a bit better (buffered in the 64-byte console ring) but still wasn't serviced until the flood ended. Poll pollin()/pollcon() once every loop iteration regardless of RX, and only idle-sleep when a pass both received nothing and read no key. The protocol/join logic was already correct (verified: JOIN #sl0p is sent, accepted, and the client switches to [#sl0p] with topic + names) - this just makes typing responsive while messages are streaming. Verified against the live server: injecting /join #sl0p *during* the MOTD flood now joins immediately instead of waiting it out. (Note: '#' is on the OSK - third row, second from the end: 10,8,":;,=+*_!?()[]<>@#~" - just not obvious.)
