mod_log_json: Prefer native Lua table.pack over Prosody util.table one
Prosody is removing support for Lua 5.1, which was the reason for
util.table.pack to exist in the first place, since Lua 5.2+ provides
table.pack. In prosody rev 5eaf77114fdb everything was switched over to
use table.pack, opening the door for removing util.table.pack at some
point. This change here is to prepare for that future eventuality.

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.
