[KVIrc] KVIrc docs and i18n

[Alexey Y Uzhva]

As for distribution way, i prefer to make doc archive downloadable. So user
will be able to download full docs archive at once. One-time 300-500kb will
not make sence, but working with offline pages are slightly faster and
easier (for example, for search).

Everything will be all right in the end.
