mod_pubsub_serverinfo: New module that uses pub/sub to make accessible server info This first implemetnation is laughably simple: it only adds a disco#info feature. This flags 'opt-in' for inclusion of local domain names in the data exposed by other domains (per the domain), which will allow servers to be listed in the XMPP Network Graph at https://xmppnetwork.goodbytes.im Hopefully, this bare-boned implementation acts as a stepping stone for future improvements.

Introduction
============

On a server with public registration it is usually desirable to prevent
registration of certain "reserved" accounts, such as "admin".

This plugin allows you to reserve individual usernames, or those
matching certain patterns. It also allows you to ensure that usernames
conform to a certain pattern.

Configuration
=============

Enable the module as any other:

    modules_enabled = {
      "block_registrations";
    }

You can then set some options to configure your desired policy:

  Option                         Default             Description
  ------------------------------ ------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  block_registrations_users      *See source code*   A list of reserved usernames
  block_registrations_matching   `{ }`               A list of [Lua patterns](http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.4.1) matching reserved usernames (slower than block_registrations_users)
  block_registrations_require    `nil`               A pattern that registered user accounts MUST match to be allowed

Some examples:

    block_registrations_users = { "admin", "root", "xmpp" }
    block_registrations_matching = {
      "master$" -- matches anything ending with master: postmaster, hostmaster, webmaster, etc.
    }
    block_registrations_require = "^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+$" -- Allow only simple ASCII characters in usernames
