mod_http_xep227: Add support for import via APIs rather than direct store manipulation
In particular this transitions PEP nodes and data to be imported via mod_pep's
APIs, fixing issues with importing at runtime while PEP data may already be
live in RAM.
Next obvious candidate for this approach is rosters, so clients get immediate
roster pushes and other special handling (such as emitting subscribes to reach
the desired subscription state).

--- summary: Throttle authentication attempts with optional tarpit ... Introduction ============ This module lets you put a per-IP limit on the number of failed authentication attempts. It features an optioanal [tarpit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_%28networking%29), i.e. waiting some time before returning an "authentication failed" response. Configuration ============= ``` {.lua} modules_enabled = { -- your other modules "limit_auth"; } limit_auth_period = 30 -- over 30 seconds limit_auth_max = 5 -- tolerate no more than 5 failed attempts -- Will only work with Prosody trunk: limit_auth_tarpit_delay = 10 -- delay answer this long ``` Compatibility ============= Requires 0.9 or later. The tarpit feature requires Prosody trunk.
