[PATCH] myfirstcontrib: update links to IRC channels

From: Sebastian LaVine <hidden>
Date: 2021-06-19 02:41:28

The Git project now uses Libera Chat, not Freenode. A similar change was
made in git-scm.com commit b1f3d65 (community: update links to IRC
server, 2021-05-26).

Makes sense. Thanks. However, it looks like an equivalent patch has
already been submitted[1].
