mod_invites_page: Change client selection button text from 'Install' to 'Select' by default This also allows specific clients entries to override the text via the 'select_text' field. Rationale: 1) users may already have the software installed, we still want them to select it anyway for the tailored setup experience. 2) some clients (e.g. web clients) are not really "installed" so the text was misleading

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

This module is part of the suite of modules that implement invite-based
account registration for Prosody. The other modules are:

- mod_invites
- mod_invites_page
- mod_invites_register
- mod_invites_register_web
- mod_register_apps

For details and a full overview, start with the mod_invites documentation.

Details
=======

mod_invites_adhoc allows XMPP clients to create new invites on the server.
Clients must support either XEP-0401 (Easy Onboarding) or XEP-0050 (Ad-hoc
commands).

There are three types of invitation that can be created:

| Account-only invites | These can be used to register a new account |
| Contact-only invites | These can be shared with a contact so they can easily add you to their contact list |
| Account-and-contact invites | Like a contact-only invite, but also allows the contact to register on the current server if they don't already have an XMPP account |

Only configured admins of the server are able to create account-only invites. By default
normal users may only create contact-only invites, but account-and-contact invites can
be enabled with the `allow_user_invites` option.

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

| Name                  | Description                                                           | Default                                   |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| allow_user_invites    | Whether non-admin users can invite contacts to register on this server| `false`                                   |
| allow_contact_invites | Whether non-admin users can invite contacts to their roster           | `true`                                    |

The `allow_user_invites` option should be set as desired. However it is
strongly recommended to leave the other option (`allow_contact_invites`)
at its default to provide the best user experience.
