mod_http_oauth2: Strip unknown extra fields from client registration
We shouldn't sign things we don't understand!
RFC 7591 section-2 states:
> The authorization server MUST ignore any client metadata sent by the
> client that it does not understand (for instance, by silently removing
> unknown metadata from the client's registration record during
> processing).
Prevents grandfathering in of unvalidated data that might become used
later, especially since the 'additionalProperties' schema keyword was
removed in 698fef74ce53

--- summary: Workaround for Dialback with some servers that violate RFC 6120 ... This module provides a workaround for servers that do not set the `to` attribute on stream headers, which is required per [RFC6120]: > ## 4.7.2. to > > For initial stream headers in both client-to-server and > server-to-server communication, the initiating entity MUST include the > 'to' attribute and MUST set its value to a domainpart that the > initiating entity knows or expects the receiving entity to service. As a side effect of [this issue](https://prosody.im/issues/issue/285), Prosody 0.10 will be unable to do [Dialback][xep220] with servers that don't follow this. # Known servers affected * Openfire 3.10.2 (and probably earlier versions)
