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: OIDC UserInfo profile details from vcard4

This module extracts profile details from the user's [vcard4][XEP-0292]
and provides them in the [UserInfo] endpoint of [mod_http_oauth2] to
clients the user grants authorization.

Whether this is really needed is unclear at this point. When logging in
with an XMPP client, it could fetch the actual vcard4 to retrieve these
details, so the UserInfo details would probably primarily be useful to
other OAuth 2 and OIDC clients.
