mod_s2s_keepalive: Don't send whitespace keepalives before s2sin stream is open Could possibly result in whitespace before the XML and stream header, which isn't allowed by the parser. Don't think s2sout is affected, as the stream is opened early and doesn't have to wait for the other end. Thanks Ge0rG

This module is an experiment about a more graceful shutdown process.

Why
===

When shutting down, a number of sessions, connections and other things
are teared down. Due to all these things happening very quickly,
sometimes e.g. client unavailable notifications don't make it to all
remote contacts because the server-to-server connections are teared down
just after.

How
===

This module works by breaking the shutdown process into separate steps
with a brief pause between them.

It goes something like this

1.  Stop accepting new client connections.
2.  Close all client connections.
3.  Fire event for everything else.
4.  Tell `net.server` to quit the main loop.
5.  ???
6.  Still here? Kill itself.
