Description
At the moment, broadcast notices such as the below are displayed in some channel windows1, to make the notice obvious.
23:04:40 -ChanServ (ChanServ@services.)- [#gnu] Welcome to #gnu, the official channel of the GNU Project. Please read and follow http://www.gnu.org/server/irc-rules.html.
However these show up in logs too. This is unnecessary, being redundant and irrelevant, and makes the logs potentially confusing.
In fact I would go as far to not display these messages in unrelated channels at all; instead display them in the server channel window and set a highlight for the user.
[1] I can't work out how smuxi chooses which channels to display this message in; it's less than "all channels" but greater than "the channel that's currently displayed".

Engine-IRC: don't show notices on shared channels for Nick/ChanServ (closes: #868)
This "show notices on shared channels" feature was introduced in #38 but became
annoying with Nick/ChanServ which send channel welcome messages or other
replies which then got spammed to all channels.

- Category set to Engine IRC
- Notices from users you share channels with will also be shown on the channel and the server tab to make it easier to see their notices. (closes:#38)
Services are a special case I guess and are indeed a bit annoying. Smuxi should try to detect them (or hardcode some known nicks) and not do this. For the messages from services I agree.

It would be nice if we could configure where notices went. They currently go to all channels that you have in common with the sender, I believe, which gets pretty bad when communicating with network services. The options to route these messages should include at least:
- Display in all common channels (current behavior).
- If there is only one channel in common, display in that channel.
- Display in currently selected channel.
- Display only in the server tab.
Some people might prefer a mix of these options, so perhaps allowing multiple of them to be selected would be good. To make it even more complex, this could be implemented as a set of rules, where you always have a default rule, but can add new ones that change the behavior of a specific server or user.

I think for a quick fix NickServ@ and ChanServ@ should be blacklisted to be shown on "common/shared channels"
