Title:
  [Eir] Enable Eir to check other #$buntu channels for banned users and
  warn

Status in The official Ubuntu IRC bots:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A lot of the more problem users in the Ubuntu name space get banned
  from one Ubuntu channel and straight away join another ubuntu channel
  and cause a problem there, this is also true of spammers and relies on
  a lot of manual intervention to manage. This is a reasonably rare
  situation, but a troublesome one non the less.

  Enabling eir to have some form of the following functionality.

  The ability to check if a banned user is present in other channels and
  warn the operators.

  eg: banned user ikonia banned from #ubuntu present in
  #kubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu so they can be checked on.

  There are various ways to do this, checking users as they join
  channels for ban entries (massive overhead), or sleeping 30 seconds
  after a ban and then checking the user for channels they share with
  eir, this is just a high level idea.

  enable a !btset-namespace type command, if a problem user/spammer hits
  a channel that we know is a problem in all the channels the ability to
  do

  !btset-namespace $ban-id for eir to then implement that ban with the
  same parameters as the original ban in all channels eir is
  controlling.

  eg: a spammer hits #freenode/##linux/#ubuntu/#rhel - we see it's
  hitting multiple channels and ban in from #ubuntu with a ban id of
  1234 and a duration of 1 day as it will likely go away after 24 hours,

  the ability to do !btset-namespace 1234 would push eir to put the same
  #ubuntu ban in #kubuntu/#xubuntu/#lubuntu/any other other channel
  controlled by eir for 24 hours and auto remove when the ban is removed
  from #ubuntu
