[JDEV] Server feature request

[kadokev at msg.net]

Server feature request, the ability to turn debugging on/off by sending a
Unix signal to the jabberd process, something like this:

     SIGUSR1   Turns on debugging; each SIGUSR1 increments debug level.
               (SIGEMTon older systems without SIGUSR1.)

     SIGUSR2   Turns off debugging completely.   (SIGFPEon older systems
               without SIGUSR2.)

The astute observer will notice that the two paragraphs above are verbatim from
the documentation for BIND :-)
