A pasted album is taken through the real irc_loop, not only on paper (#897)

[chchatzop]

Fixes #897. Follow-up to #894 and #896.

What was wrong

#894's tests read the is_file_request exemption out of irc.py's source, and check the mute wording and the queue-full notice. None of them runs a paste. With not is_file_request taken back out of the gate's own if -

if is_bot_command and not is_file_request and security.is_flooding(user):

• the whole suite stayed green (6414 OK, checked on main in a separate worktree). So the behaviour the operator asked for - "bot should just add them to queue one by one as he requests" - had no test that would notice it going.

What changed

• tests/test_a_pasted_album_is_taken_through_the_real_loop.py (5), carried from the superseded A pasted list of requests is taken one by one, and the mute says what is true (#888) #890 and adapted to A pasted album is not a flood, and the mute notice tells the truth (#888) #894's code: drives irc_loop() against a scripted server (the A third nick when both configured names are taken, and 437 is a refusal #789 harness) with a paste arriving as channel lines, the loop's threads recorded. Thirty file rows and fifteen !rar rows are all dispatched with no mute or ban; searches are still muted and then banned; rows during a search-earned mute are served and never escalate it; a ban still refuses them.
• Changelog: a note inside A pasted list of requests can mute and then ban the user for an hour, and the mute notice wrongly says their queue was cleared #888's own entry (it completes A pasted list of requests can mute and then ban the user for an hour, and the mute notice wrongly says their queue was cleared #888 rather than being a new change), naming this and Say that file requests are not counted toward MAX_REQUESTS (#888) #896's description fix, which had no entry of its own. The public bullet names the new Max commands per window label.

Verified

• Three of the five fail with the exemption removed from the gate; the other two (searches still metered, a ban still refusing) are controls and pass both ways.
• Full suite on current main: 6426 OK (18 skipped).

Superseded by #908 (merged), which executes the same exemption through irc_loop - checked: with not is_file_request removed from the gate on main, four of its six tests fail. Closing. One small thing this PR had that main still lacks: the public changelog never mentions #896's rename of the setting's label to Max commands per window.
