util.dependencies: Print tables itself to reduce number of imports Rationale: See diffstat When this module is imported, it ends up calling stty via term_width() in util.human.io.table(). When this happens outside of a terminal, the following message is sent to stdout: stty: 'standard input': Inappropriate ioctl for device Not importing this module avoids that. Furthermore three is value in this module having minimal dependencies as they might not be available when it does the checks. Ref a1fed82c44b9

			server.lua based on lua/libevent by blastbeat

			notes:
			-- when using luaevent, never register 2 or more EV_READ at one socket, same for EV_WRITE
			-- you can't even register a new EV_READ/EV_WRITE callback inside another one
			-- to do some of the above, use timeout events or something what will called from outside
			-- don't let garbagecollect eventcallbacks, as long they are running
			-- when using luasec, there are 4 cases of timeout errors: wantread or wantwrite during reading or writing
