mod_muc_limits: Add config option to limit to join stanzas only This is a bit more limited in pre-0.11 MUC modules, because it just detects stanzas sent to full JIDs (which would include all presence and nick changes). This option is useful for setups where users are typically unaffiliated, but trusted (e.g. if access to the room is gated through some other means such as password/token auth).

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.
