channel password can be part of an irc uri as follows: 'irc://test-shout-bot@irc.freenode.net:6667/#channel?password'. This fix updates the join method to split on '?', which splits the channel name from the password. The @channel_password variable then takes the uri channel password first, the shout-bot initialize password second (to maintain backwards compatibility), or the empty string if neither exist.
