mod_smacks: Ignore user when writing or reading session_cache on prosody 0.9 At least under some circumstances it seems that session.username is nil when a user tries to resume his session in prosody 0.9. The username is not relevant when no limiting is done (limiting the number of entries in the session cache is only possible in prosody 0.10), so this commit removes the usage of the username when accessing the prosody 0.9 session cache.

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)
