Performance improvements on several parts: TCP, logger, Erlang/OTP, and clustering.

Notes:

This release requires Erlang/OTP R9C-2 or higher.
If you already have an ejabberd.cfg from previous ejabberd version, add this line at the beginning of the list of modules:
```

```
When upgrading an ODBC-based installation from ejabberd 0.9.8 or older, make sure to check the release notes of ejabberd 1.0.0.
There is a known bug on mod_shared_roster that breaks users' rosters if that user modifies contacts from a shared roster. Check forum thread and Bugzilla #233.
