mod_compat_roles: New module providing compat shim for trunk's new role API
The new role API is translated to is_admin() calls on older versions. On newer
versions (which have the role API) this module does nothing.
It allows modules to drop their use of is_admin() (which is not available in
trunk) and switch to the new role API, while remaining compatible with
previous Prosody versions.

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.
