mod_http_oauth2: Add TODO about disabling password grant Per recommendation in draft-ietf-oauth-security-topics-23 it should at the very least be disabled by default. However since this is used by the Snikket web portal some care needs to be taken not to break this, unless it's already broken by other changes to this module.

summary: HTTP Authentication using custom JSON protocol
...

Introduction
============

To authenticate users, this module does a `POST` request to a configured
URL with a JSON payload. It is not async so requests block the server
until answered.

Configuration
=============

``` lua
VirtualHost "example.com"
authentication = "custom_http"
auth_custom_http = {
  post_url = "http://api.example.com/auth";
}
```

Protocol
========

The JSON payload consists of an object with `username` and `password`
members:

    {"username":"john","password":"secr1t"}

The module expects the response body to be exactly `true` if the
username and password are correct.
