mod_rest: Do not allow replies to <iq type=result> from webhooks
Replying to a result stanza could cause loops, just as replying to an
error.
No stanza.name check here but it should be fine since no other kinds of
stanzas have type=result, and the boolean logic would most definitely be
wrong on the first attempt.

# Introduction This module closes s2s connections when [mod_smacks][doc:modules:mod_smacks] reports that a connection has not received a timely acknowledgement as requested, indicating that the connection is broken or the remote server is not responding. With the connection closed, the next stanza to be directed to that server will trigger Prosody to establish a new connection, instead of queueing it on the potentially broken connection. This should prevent messages from being stuck in a queue for a potentially long time before being bounced back to the sender as delivery failure reports. Normally the amount of time it takes for a broken connection to time out is determined by TCP. If this is deemed sensible behavior then it will likely be merged into Prosody itself somewhere.
