2118173ca4 .github/stale bot: stop commenting
Niklas Hambüchen noted in

https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/124#issuecomment-1113647856

that we can add a label description for the stale label that appears
when you hover over the label, or look on

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/labels

I set the description to be

> https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/.github/STALE-BOT.md

which is our page explaining the stale bot.

The stale bot comments/emails are a significant burden on our most
prodigious contributors, and the reason for their existence to orient
new contributors.

Since our stale bot's configuration is benign enough to ignore (it
does not close), I believe it is good enough to satisfy the new
contributor orientation with the label description.

Therefore, this commit disables commenting when labeling an issue or
PR stale.

slotThe
2c529c3cb8 Link to Libera, Matrix instead of Freenode
The project has moved away from Freenode as an IRC network[1], and there
is now a quite large channel on Libera.  As such, we should point users
towards that instead.

This also changes all examples to refer to libera instead of freenode
as, with the recent deletion of all freenode channels, it is perhaps
where most communities are to be found nowadays.

Finally, also link to the official Matrix room[2] as an alternative to
IRC.

27510ad13f stale bot: TL;DR
moves all the information to the Markdown document that we can
dynamically update and tries to make things more concise and scannable.
