Description

When a client uses AWAY, RPL_NOWAWAY is sent to all connections of the same session.

Instead, it should send AWAY to other connections; either unconditionally or only to connections that have IRCv3 away-notify enabled

Research direction

Start by locating the AWAY command handling and the code that sends session-wide replies. Check how RPL_NOWAWAY is delivered to connections, then verify that only the intended connections receive the relevant notification. Done means the initiating client no longer receives RPL_NOWAWAY when the issue's proposed behavior excludes it, while other connections receive AWAY as specified.
