Bug#999586: ircd-hybrid: errors in default ircd.conf

[Silly S. Lux]

Package: ircd-hybrid
Version: 1:8.2.38+dfsg.1-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: sill...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

The config block "shared" in debian/irdc.conf differs from doc/reference.conf.
It has two extra options port and timeout. Both cause errors to be logged in
/var/log/ircd/ircd-hybrid.log

Also suggesting some other changes to unclutter the diff.
