mod_prometheus: Invoke stats collection if in 'manual' mode Since 10d13e0554f9 a special value for statistics_interval "manual" exists, where a module is expected to invoke processing in connection to collection of stats. This makes internal collection and exporting to Prometheus happens at the same time with no chance of timers getting out of sync.

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.
