Geolocation vmods

[Brett Fitzgerald]

Hi Andrel and Thomas,

I also wrote an implementation of ip2location as a vmod:
https://github.com/controversy187/libvmod-ip2location

I'm not well versed in C, and this is my first vmod, but maybe it could be
helpful. And I'm also open to suggestions for improvement :)
