mod_vcard_muc: Add an alternative method of signaling avatar change
When the avatar has been changed, a signal is sent that the room
configuration has changed. Clients then do a disco#info query to find
the SHA-1 of the new avatar. They can then fetch it as before, or not if
they have it cached already.
This is meant to be less disruptive than signaling via presence, which
caused problems for some clients.
If clients transition to the new method, the old one can eventually be removed.
The namespace is made up while waiting for standardization.
Otherwise it is very close to what's described in

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.
