mod_pubsub_serverinfo: New module that uses pub/sub to make accessible server info This first implemetnation is laughably simple: it only adds a disco#info feature. This flags 'opt-in' for inclusion of local domain names in the data exposed by other domains (per the domain), which will allow servers to be listed in the XMPP Network Graph at https://xmppnetwork.goodbytes.im Hopefully, this bare-boned implementation acts as a stepping stone for future improvements.

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.
