Details:

This might be related #29879, but affecting the server autojoin logic.  If you
define a very long autojoin list of channels which exceeds about 500
characters, the JOIN command is sent as one string, which means the list will
be truncated as it exceeds the maximum length.  The list needs to be broken up
and sent as multiple JOIN commands limited by the maximum length accepted by
the protocol.

For example, if you have a giant list of channels (or channels with long names
and ending with #etc,#blah,#abcd,#efgh,#ijkl,#mnop,#truncate,#many,#more you
might end up with the result of the last channel being joined as #truncat and
the rest of the channels in the list are lost and never autojoined.  

I am working around this by keeping the list under 500 characters and using a
script to join the rest, but this is very much undesirable and not compatible
with scripts like autojoin.py that might create a 700 or 800 character
autojoin string.
