commit d118cd74b6ff342b978b493d56f9306028e364cf
from: Peter Powell <petpow@saberuk.com>
date: Tue Jul 14 13:37:42 2015 UTC

Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH".

AUTH is a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not
a good idea. Use * as the target instead as done with numerics
when the nick is not available.

This mimics the behaviour in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd 2.2,
Plexus 4, etc.
