mod_rest: Remove manual reference expansion in schema This hack was originally added to reduce the number of definitions of common attributes (type, to, from etc) and payloads (e.g. delay). This predated pointers and references, and until now was needed because parsing picked out the correct stanza kind from the schema, which broke internal references. Removing this hack paves the way for allowing the schema to be configured or customized more easily.

1803 4d73a1a6ba68 Convert all wiki pages to Markdown Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> parents: 1782 diff changeset	50 A certain number of events are allowed per second, given by
4d73a1a6ba68 Convert all wiki pages to Markdown Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> parents: 1782 diff changeset	51 muc\_event\_rate. An event rate of 1 allows one event per second, and
