mod_smacks: fix bug for missbehaving clients sending multiple acks in a row
Missbehaving clients, sending multiple acks in a row (I'm looking at you Monal!)
triggered the ack-loop-prevention code added in 2017, leaving unacked stanzas
in the queue. This fixes the bug while still preventing ack-loops.

This module is an experiment about a more graceful shutdown process. Why === When shutting down, a number of sessions, connections and other things are teared down. Due to all these things happening very quickly, sometimes e.g. client unavailable notifications don't make it to all remote contacts because the server-to-server connections are teared down just after. How === This module works by breaking the shutdown process into separate steps with a brief pause between them. It goes something like this 1. Stop accepting new client connections. 2. Close all client connections. 3. Fire event for everything else. 4. Tell `net.server` to quit the main loop. 5. ??? 6. Still here? Kill itself.
