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.

--- summary: Audit Logging rockspec: {} ... This module provides infrastructure for audit logging inside Prosody. ## What is audit logging? Audit logs will contain security sensitive events, both for server-wide incidents as well as user-specific. This module, however, only provides the infrastructure for audit logging. It does not, by itself, generate such logs. For that, other modules, such as `mod_audit_auth` or `mod_audit_register` need to be loaded. ## A note on privacy Audit logging is intended to ensure the security of a system. As such, its contents are often at the same time highly sensitive (containing user names and IP addresses, for instance) and allowed to be stored under common privacy regulations. Before using these modules, you may want to ensure that you are legally allowed to store the data for the amount of time these modules will store it. Note that it is currently not possible to store different event types with different expiration times.
