mod_client_management: Include client software version number in listing
Should you ever wish to revoke a client by version number, e.g. for
security reasons affecting certain versions, then it would be good to at
the very least see which version is used.
Also includes the OAuth2 software ID, an optional unique identifier that
should be the same for all installations of a particular software.

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.
