mod_smacks: Limit queue memory consumption using new util This brings back the queue size limit that was once added, then removed because destroying the session when reaching the limit was not great. Instead, the queue wraps and overwrites the oldest unacked stanza on the assumption that it will probably be acked anyway and thus does not need to be delivered. If those discarded stanzas turn out to be needed on resumption then the resumption fails.
