  Fails to connect to irc.slack.com with an SSL error

Bug description:
  slack.com is a chat service with optional IRC integration.  Since
  today I can no longer connect to their IRC gateway using XChat-GNOME.
  The error is:

  > * Nepavyko prisijungti. Klaida: (336130315) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number
  > Ar tai tikrai SSL šifravimą palaikantis serveris ir prievadas?

  which, translated from lt_LT, means

  > * Cannot connect.  Error: (336130315) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number
  > Does the server/port really support SSL?

  I think this is part of the fallout of CVE-2014-3566 (aka POODLE).
  XChat-GNOME is trying to use the insecure SSL protocol version 3, and
  Slack, reasonably enough, rejects that.
