mod_rest: Handle internal http request errors early and then return Skips over attempted parsing of the payload which usually failed since the body is an error string like "connection refused", so this produced useless errors.

summary: Monkeypatch mod_smacks to silently discard unacked message stanzas when a hibernation times out
...

Introduction
============

By default mod_smacks sends back error stanzas for every unacked message
stanza when the hibernation times out.
This leads to "message not delivered" errors displayed in clients.

When you are certain that *all* your clients use MAM, this is unnecessary and
confuses users (the message will eventually be delivered via MAM).

This module therefore monkeypatches mod_smacks to silently drop those
unacked message stanzas instead of sending error replies.
Unacked iq stanzas are still answered with an error reply though.

If you disable mod_offline, this module will also silence "message not delivered"
error messages that will otherwise be generated when prosody would normally
store offline message but can't do this because of disabled mod_offline.  
If mod_offline is *not* disabled this module will not change offline storage
behaviour at all.

Warning
=======

You most certainly *should not* use this module if you cannot be certain
that *all* your clients support and use MAM!
