mod_rest: Remove manual reference expansion in schema
This hack was originally added to reduce the number of definitions of
common attributes (type, to, from etc) and payloads (e.g. delay). This
predated pointers and references, and until now was needed because
parsing picked out the correct stanza kind from the schema, which broke
internal references.
Removing this hack paves the way for allowing the schema to be
configured or customized more easily.

This module compares the memory usage reported by Lua before and after each event and reports it to the log if it exceeds the configuration setting `log_memory_threshold` (in bytes). ``` lua log_memory_threshold = 20*1024 ``` If you are looking to identify memory leaks, please first read [Three kinds of memory leaks](https://blog.nelhage.com/post/three-kinds-of-leaks/). Prosody runs on Lua which uses automatic memory management with garbage collection, so the numbers reported by this module are very likely to be useless for the purpose of identifying memory leaks. Large, but temporary, increases in memory usage can however highlight other kinds of performance problems and sometimes even provide hits for where to look for memory leaks.
