mod_s2s_keepalive: Ignore errors from the local server If a stanza can't be delivered and instead an bounce is generated, the origin of the error, when different from the stanza 'from' should be indicated in the 'by' attribute of the <error>, which we look for here so this doesn't count as a successful ping. An error that does come from the remote means we have connectivity, but probably no XEP-0199 handling. This is fine. We care about connectivity, not protocol.

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.
