doc: Add info about Discord channel

Browse Source 
The patch adds information about Discord #flashrom channel.
Because there are now two different real-time channels, the
page is re-structured to have "Real time chats" section and
information about Discord and IRC inside "Real time chats".

Real time chats
---------------
Flashrom has real time channels where you have the chance to talk to people being involved or interested in the project.
Most of the discussion is about flashrom development, contributions, tech talk and user help.
You are welcome to join and discuss current and future flashrom development, ideas and contributions.
If you have a problem and would like to get help, don't ask for help. Instead, just **explain** your problem right away,
and make sure to **describe** the situation as much as possible, so that other people can understand you and provide meaningful answers.
Otherwise, others have to ask or guess the details of your problem, which is frustrating for both parties.
Should you need to paste lots of text (more than three lines), please use a `paste service <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastebin>`_.
For flashrom logs, feel free to use `paste.flashrom.org <https://paste.flashrom.org>`_.
Other good paste services are `ix.io <http://ix.io/>`_, `paste.rs <https://paste.rs/>`_, `bpaste.net <https://bpaste.net/>`_,
`gist.github.com <https://gist.github.com/>`_ and `dpaste.com <http://dpaste.com/>`_.
Questions on `coreboot <https://coreboot.org>`_, `OpenBIOS <http://www.openbios.info/>`_, firmware and related topics are welcome in **#coreboot** on the same server.

You can join `#flashrom <irc://irc.libera.chat/#flashrom>`_
channel on the `Libera.chat <https://www.libera.chat/>`_ `IRC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat>`_ network.
If you don't have an IRC client, you can use the Libera.chat `webchat <https://web.libera.chat/#flashrom>`_.
**#flashrom** channel is bridged to `Matrix <https://matrix.org/>`_.

Here you have the chance to talk to people being involved or interested in this project.
Most of the discussion is tech talk and user help.
Do note that IRC's nature has a significant effect on conversations. People from all over the world can join this channel
with many different cultures and timezones. Most people are in the `CET timezone <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_European_Time>`_,
so the channel may be very quiet during `CET nighttime <https://time.is/CET>`_.
If you have a problem and would like to get help, don't ask for help. Instead, just **explain** your problem right away,
and make sure to **describe** the situation as much as possible, so that other people can understand you and provide meaningful answers.
Otherwise, others have to ask or guess the details of your problem, which is frustrating for both parties.
If you receive no replies, **please be patient**.
After all, silence is better than getting replied with `"IDK" <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/IDK>`_.
Frequently, somebody knows the answer, but hasn't checked IRC yet. In any case, please **do not leave the channel while waiting for an answer!**
