xchat vs freenode

It seems that most of FreeNode servers now reject SSLv3.
They simply reset a TCP connection after Client Hello message with that
protocol.  xchat appears to be hardcoded to use SSLv3, so it now has a trouble
connecting to the FreeNode servers with SSL enabled.

Here are some bug reports describing the problem for Linux distributions:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat-gnome/+bug/1381484
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1091544

This patch seems to fix the issue for me:
