Take advantage of the LINELEN token in 005 to send longer messages than the RFC limit of 512 bytes, when possible.

Can't say I've ever seen a network actually advertise this token, but it's relatively easy to add and test so why not support it.

Notes

This was previously flagged as obsolete, but InspIRCd still uses it (refs: ircdocs/irc-defs#82, https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd/blob/e147b461173c58eb443eee0ac56f7d3c3c4b2c3a/src/server.cpp#L218).

Docs link in the code points to a nonexistent section at time of writing. See ircdocs/modern-irc#189 for the patch that will add it.
