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: 'Receives HTTP POST request, parses it and relays it into XMPP.' --- Introduction ============ Sometimes it's useful to have different interfaces to access XMPP. This module allows sending XMPP [`<message>`](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6121.html#message) stanzas via a simple HTTP API. Example usage ------------- curl http://example.com:5280/msg/user -u me@example.com:mypassword -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d "Server@host has just crashed!" This would send a message to user\@example.com from me\@example.com Details ======= URL format ---------- /msg/ [recipient [@host] ]. The base URL defaults to `/msg`. This can be configured via Prosodys [HTTP path settings][doc:http]. Authentication -------------- Authentication is done by HTTP Basic. Authentication: Basic BASE64( "username@virtualhost:password" ) Payload formats --------------- Supported formats are: `text/plain` : The HTTP body is used as plain text message payload, in the `<body>` element. `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` : Allows more fields to be specified. `application/json` : Similar to form data. Which one is selected via the `Content-Type` HTTP header. ### Data fields The form data and JSON formats allow the following fields: `to` : Can be used instead of having the receiver in the URL. `type` : [Message type.](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6121.html#message-syntax-type) `body` : Plain text message payload which goes in the `<body>` element. Acknowledgements ================ Some code originally borrowed from mod\_webpresence See also ======== [mod_rest] is a more advanced way to send messages and more via HTTP, with a very similar API.
