mod_http_muc_log: Remove dead code This might be something left over since a different variant where the loop went like `for n = i-1, i-100, -1 do ... end` i.e. it went trough a fixed number of items instead of all the page until the current message. Then it would have needed something to stop going over the end, but since the checks are simple it shouldn't be much of a problem looping over even a very busy day.

# Introduction

This module adds an internal Prosody API to retrieve the last displayed message by MUC occupants.

## Requirements

The clients must support XEP-0333, and the users to be tracked must be affiliated with the room.

Currently due to lack of clarity about which id to use in acknowledgements in XEP-0333, this module
rewrites the id attribute of stanzas to match the stanza (archive) id assigned by the MUC server.

Oh yeah, and mod_muc_mam is required (or another module that adds a stanza-id), otherwise this module
won't do anything.
