mod_bookmarks2: Add new module. This is the result of hacking during the Stockholm XMPP Sprint, for compatibility with older clients only doing Private XML XEP-0048. This module shouldn’t be loaded at the same time as mod_bookmarks, as both implement Private XML to achieve their conversion.

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.
