mod_pubsub_post: Restructure authentication and authorization (BC)
This deprecates the default "superuser" actor model and makes the
default equivalent to the previous "request.id".
A single actor and secret per node is supported because HTTP and
WebHooks don't normally include any authorization identity.
Allowing authentication bypass when no secret is given should be
relatively safe when the actor is unprivileged, as will be unless
explicitly configured otherwise.

| 2 summary: HTTP Authentication using custom JSON protocol | |
| 3 ... | |
| 4 | |
| 5 Introduction | |
| 6 ============ | |
| 7 | |
| 8 To authenticate users, this module does a `POST` request to a configured | |
| 9 URL with a JSON payload. It is not async so requests block the server | |
| 10 until answered. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 Configuration | |
| 13 ============= | |
| 14 | |
| 15 ``` lua | |
| 16 VirtualHost "example.com" | |
| 17 authentication = "custom_http" | |

| 23 Protocol | |
| 24 ======== | |
| 25 | |
| 26 The JSON payload consists of an object with `username` and `password` | |
| 27 members: | |
| 28 | |
| 29 {"username":"john","password":"secr1t"} | |
| 30 | |
| 31 The module expects the response body to be exactly `true` if the | |
| 32 username and password are correct. |
