mod_c2s_conn_throttle: Reduce log level from error->info
Our general policy is that "error" should never be triggerable by remote
entities, and that it is always about something that requires admin
intervention. This satisfies neither condition.
The "warn" level can be used for unexpected events/behaviour triggered by
remote entities, and this could qualify. However I don't think failed auth
attempts are unexpected enough.
I selected "info" because it is what is also used for other notable session
lifecycle events.

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.
