mod_pubsub_serverinfo: Fix check for local domain The module was checking whether a host exists, but this may be misleading if our host is loaded before the host that is being checked. This change makes it check the config. This will provide a false positive in the rare case that the host is defined but not activated/enabled. But we don't have an API currently for "is this host configured and enabled?"
