mod_rest: Use logger of HTTP request in trunk
In Prosody trunk rev c975dafa4303 each HTTP request gained its own log
sink, to make it easy to log things related to each request and group
those messages. Especially where async is used, spreading the request
and response apart as mod_rest does with iq stanzas, this grouped
logging should help find related messages.

This module compares the memory usage reported by Lua before and after each event and reports it to the log if it exceeds the configuration setting `log_memory_threshold` (in bytes). ``` lua log_memory_threshold = 20*1024 ``` If you are looking to identify memory leaks, please first read [Three kinds of memory leaks](https://blog.nelhage.com/post/three-kinds-of-leaks/). Prosody runs on Lua which uses automatic memory management with garbage collection, so the numbers reported by this module are very likely to be useless for the purpose of identifying memory leaks. Large, but temporary, increases in memory usage can however highlight other kinds of performance problems and sometimes even provide hits for where to look for memory leaks.
