mod_muc_markers: Add option for @id rewriting, default off (may break some clients) XEP-0333 was updated to clarify that stanza-id should be used instead of the 'id' attribute when in a MUC. Some clients still use the id attribute, which is why we were rewriting it. Rewriting is bad because mod_muc advertises stable_id, indicating that Prosody does *not* rewrite ids. Recent versions of Conversations actually depend on this being true. All clients should migrate to using stanza-id for markers. See XEP-0333.

This module is an experiment about a more graceful shutdown process.

Why
===

When shutting down, a number of sessions, connections and other things
are teared down. Due to all these things happening very quickly,
sometimes e.g. client unavailable notifications don't make it to all
remote contacts because the server-to-server connections are teared down
just after.

How
===

This module works by breaking the shutdown process into separate steps
with a brief pause between them.

It goes something like this

1.  Stop accepting new client connections.
2.  Close all client connections.
3.  Fire event for everything else.
4.  Tell `net.server` to quit the main loop.
5.  ???
6.  Still here? Kill itself.
