mod_storage_s3: Remove wrapper and original timestamp from payload (BC) Unpacking the wrapper was already removed in 66986f5271c3 so it was broken already. Just rely on the Last-Modified date instead, it's not going to be accurate if a different timestamp is passed, e.g. with migrations, but that will have to be a future problem. Perhaps the X-Amz-Meta-* can be used?

Introduction
============

In order to build heuristics for which messages are spam, it is necessary to
log as many details as possible about the spammers. This module sends a
version and disco query whenever a message is received from a JID to a user it
is not subscribed to. The results are printed to Prosody's log file at the
'info' level. Queried full JIDs are not queried again until Prosody restarts.

The queries are sent regardless of whether the local user exists, so it does
not reveal if an account is active.
