Upgrades ejabberd to the latest stable version.

Includes an important fix, namely configuring the allowed port range for EPMD connections (for Erlang inter-node communication). It was set manually on one of the servers, but missing on the other, which caused the port to be randomized, which then made it impossible to join its cluster from other nodes, which is necessary during ejabberd upgrades.

Also configures SQL upgrades to run automatically now (surprisingly a fairly recent feature addition to ejabberd).

closes #544
