mod_pubsub_subscription: New module providing an API for pubsub subscriptions
This lets other modules hook events from local or remote XEP-0060 pubsub
services. API allows keeping track of items added, removed or if the
whole node gets cleared or even deleted.

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.
