bug#25153: ERC. Channel topic wipe by /topic command

[Pavel Korolev]

Typing "/topic #channel" correctly displays channel topic, but when one
types "/topic #channel " (see trailing space) this command sets topic of
the channel to "" which is not what exactly expected.
This is especially disturbing when autocomplete used, so typing "/topic
#cha" and pressing <TAB> will autoexpand it into  "/topic #channel "
which will wipe channel's topic after hitting <RET>.
