Add link to #rust-sci in README#619

The Mozilla IRC server is shutting down in the near future, so we'll need to choose something other than #rust-sci on irc.mozilla.org. It looks like #rust-sci is migrating to oftc.net (link to web chat), but let's wait a little while for things to stabilize before adding it to the README. |

@bluss Shall we merge this? |

That channel has moved to matrix entirely, so I guess we'd like to link to matrix. |

I've changed this PR to provide a link to the Matrix room and the bridged IRC room on OFTC. (It's useful to provide a link to the IRC web chat so that users who don't want to go to the effort of creating a Matrix account can still ask a quick question.)

It's helpful to have a place for users to chat. The link is to #rust-sci in the Mibbit client (the same client used for the "Mozilla IRC" link on https://www.rust-lang.org/community). Mibbit is nice because it provides a way for people to join the chat using their browser without even having to register.
