Right now if a bot needs access to a channel, it just asks random bots. This can take a long time if only 1 bot is in the channel from the whole net. Instead, a bot should broadcast a 'WHOSIN #chan' (similar to arp `who-has`). Bots will respond if they are in the channel. The bot can then ask specific bots for invite.

Now, this could just be changed to a 'INVITEME #chan', but that would violate the `set in-bots` feature, which prevents making the whole net waste its precious irc queue on redundant tasks.
