mod_cloud_notify: added code to respond to the new event "smacks-ack-delayed" issued by mod_smacks when acks are delayed for a certain amount of time. This allows to send out notification requests before the read timeout or connection close event really happens, thus allowing conversations to be smoother.

 It allows clients to register an "app server" which is notified about new

-App servers are notified about offline messages.
+App servers are notified about offline messages or messages waiting
+in the smacks queue.
+
+To cooperate with [mod_smacks] this module consumes some events:
+"smacks-ack-delayed", "smacks-hibernation-start" and "smacks-hibernation-end".
+These events allow this module to send out notifications for messages received
+while the session is hibernated by [mod_smacks] or even when smacks
+acknowledgements for messages are delayed by a certain amount of seconds
+configurable with the [mod_smacks] setting "smacks_max_ack_delay".
+
+The "smacks_max_ack_delay" setting allows to send out notifications to clients
+which aren't already in smacks hibernation state (because the read timeout or
+connection close didn't happen already) but also aren't responding to acknowledgement
+request in a timely manner, thus allowing conversations to be smoother under such
+circumstances.
