Add the XChat IRC client for Guix.

As per IRC Chat in #guix drakonis, brendyyn objected to inclusion of this
in guix. They said xchat is old, unmaintained software and no new release
since 2010. Hexchat is new maintained version. Debian 10 stills pkgs it.

Gabor Boskovits told me send in it as wontfix and be put in issue tracker.

Regards,
Veera

First of all, thanks for this patch.

As the patch is for inclusion unmaintained software with several known
bugs, this will not be merged.

Nevertheless keeping it in the tracker will help others not to run
into this again.

As this is a working recipe I would vouch for it as a valid and
completed contribution.

Best regards,
g_bor
