secret channel test (#135)

* silent.py tests for channels with mode +s appearing in LIST only when the user is connected to that channel

* Added assertions for exact content of lines with command RPL_LIST and checks for exact number of RPL_LIST replies

* fix linter errors

* only validate the first two parameters of RPL_LIST

* rename to secret channel test, add citation

* ignore ngircd pseudo-channel

* attempt to fix charybdis/solanum and ircu issues

* review fixes
