mod_post_msg: Add sendxmpp-curl
I wrote this script around the same time as this module. My local copy
has a last modification timestamp of 2011-03-29, so it's been unchanged
since then.
The original rationale was that it seemed overkill to establish an
entire XMPP session just to send a single message. Nowadays I'm quite
happy using `clix` for this kind task.

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.
