Improve user convenience of the rcirc debug buffer

* lisp/net/rcirc.el (rcirc-debug): Ignore rcirc-debug-buffer read-only
status.  Restore point after insertion unless it was at the end.
Ensure a newline before each [lead].  Replace %Y-%m-%d with the
equivalent %F in format-time-string; remove useless concat.  (Bug#32470)
