mod_muc_markers: Prevent any markers from reaching the archive, even if untracked Original intention was to leave alone things that this module isn't handling. However markers in archives are just problematic without more advanced logic about what is markable and what is not. It also requires a more advanced query in mod_muc_rai to determine the latest markable message instead of the latest archived message. I'd rather keep the "is archivable" and "is markable" definition the same for simplicity. I don't want to introduce yet another set of rules for no reason. No markers in MAM.

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)
