mod_firewall: Initialize compiled chunk just once for all handlers
This should fix a case where some stateful dependencies (such as throttles)
produce separate instances for every call to new_handler(), leading to
surprising behaviour (e.g. rules executed via JUMP CHAIN vs ::deliver would
have separate rate limits).
This also adds better error handling in case the compiled code fails to run
for some reason.

::: {.alert .alert-warning} This module is an experiment about a more graceful shutdown process. Graceful shutdown has now been implemented in Prosody trunk and will be part 0.12. See [issue #1225](https://issues.prosody.im/1225) for details. ::: 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.
