mod_rest: Add special handling to catch MAM results from remote hosts Makes MAM queries to remote hosts works. As the comment says, MAM results from users' local archives or local MUCs are returned via origin.send() which is provided in the event and thus already worked. Results from remote hosts go via normal stanza routing and events, which need this extra handling to catch. This pattern of iq-set, message+, iq-result is generally limited to MAM. Closest similar thing might be MUC join, but to really handle that you would need the webhook callback mechanism.

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.
