In Short
Impact
Rationale
Currently, while deleting buffers, the core may hang and the IRC connection can time out. With the end of freenode this has become a more pressing matter recently. This PR moves deletion of buffers to a thread per-user to prevent users causing a DoS while simultaneously preventing the core from hanging.
