mod_pubsub_serverinfo: implemented all basic features This commit replaces the earlier proof-of-concept to a solution that: - reports on remotely-connected domains - uses disco/info to detect if those domains opt-in - publishes domain names for remote domains that do so - caches the disco/info response

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

In order to build heuristics for which messages are spam, it is necessary to
log as many details as possible about the spammers. This module sends a
version and disco query whenever a message is received from a JID to a user it
is not subscribed to. The results are printed to Prosody's log file at the
'info' level. Queried full JIDs are not queried again until Prosody restarts.

The queries are sent regardless of whether the local user exists, so it does
not reveal if an account is active.
