There are still few mentions of IRC in the repo. Removing them is not a priority but it will avoid confusion for newcomers.

Should these places be replaced with references to the rust discord server, or just be removed outright?

@Shadlock0133 Yeah I read already. I'd remove the mention of any particular discussion channel, instead of putting Discord in. I can't wait for Matrix to become more mature so the Rust project can use it. Falling back to Discord is quite bad for a FOSS project.

@Leo-LB IMO we should just mirror subreddit solution and point to Discord.

Replace last mention of IRC with Discord

Mozilla's IRC service was shut down in March 2020. The official instant messaging variant has been Discord for a while, and most of the links were already replaced by rust-lang#61524.

This was the last line that came up with `irc.mozilla.org` or any combination of "irc.*#[a-z]+" in a `git grep`:

    git grep -i -E "irc.*#[a-z]+"

As there is only one other link directly to Rust's discord, I used the same Markdown link `[rust-discord]` as in `bootstrap/README.md` to stay consistent. This might come in handy if the chat platform changes at a later point again.
