mod_http_oauth2: Allow 'login_hint' as a substitute for OIDC 'select_account' prompt If the OIDC 'prompt' parameter does not contain the 'select_account' then it wants us to skip account selection, which means we have to figure which account to authenticate somehow. One way could be have this stored in a cookie from a previous successful login. Another way would be to have the account passed as a hint, which is what we add here.

::: {.alert .alert-warning}
This module is an experiment about a more graceful shutdown process.

Graceful shutdown has now been implemented in Prosody trunk and will be
part 0.12. See [issue #1225](https://issues.prosody.im/1225) for
details.
:::

Why
===

When shutting down, a number of sessions, connections and other things
are teared down. Due to all these things happening very quickly,
sometimes e.g. client unavailable notifications don't make it to all
remote contacts because the server-to-server connections are teared down
just after.

How
===

This module works by breaking the shutdown process into separate steps
with a brief pause between them.

It goes something like this

1.  Stop accepting new client connections.
2.  Close all client connections.
3.  Fire event for everything else.
4.  Tell `net.server` to quit the main loop.
5.  ???
6.  Still here? Kill itself.
