Add the XChat IRC client for Guix.
As per IRC Chat in #guix drakonis, brendyyn objected to inclusion of thisin guix. They said xchat is old, unmaintained software and no new releasesince 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 knownbugs, this will not be merged.
Nevertheless keeping it in the tracker will help others not to runinto this again.
As this is a working recipe I would vouch for it as a valid andcompleted contribution.
