docs: promote #dri-devel on oftc over freenode

Due to the recent changes at Freenode and the recommendation from the
X.Org board of moving to OFTC[1], many mesa-developers have moved over
to the #dri-devel channel on OFTC by now.

So let's promote that channel rather than the Freenode channel.

While we're at it, let's correct[2] the URI to use a slash to separate
between the host and channel. And omit the # from the channel name for
maximum compatibility.
