mod_csi_simple: Report whatever's not a stirng and not a stanza This is either dead code or actually a type error, but catching that should be the responsibility of the session.send function. This type check is left since everything after it assumes a stanza object. These last few commits aren't meant to change any behavior and it did mark things not stanzas as important, but those would have been mostly raw strings which are now specially handled.
