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.

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.
