mod_firewall: Update user marks to store instantly via map store
The original approach was to keep marks in memory only, and persist them at
shutdown. That saves I/O, at the cost of potentially losing marks on an
unclean shutdown.
This change persists marks instantly, which may have some performance overhead
but should be more "correct".
It also splits the marking/unmarking into an event which may be watched or
even fired by other modules.

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.
