various: Improve error reporting if missing file server module on 0.12 If there is some error loading net.http.files then it would be swallowed by the pcall and then it would proceed to trying mod_http_files, which might cause unexpected behavior on 0.12 Ref #1765

This module allows admins and users to create invitations suitable for sharing
to potential new users/contacts.

User invitations can be created through the "New Invite" ad-hoc command. An overview
of the semantics and protocol can be found at [modernxmpp.org/client/invites](https://docs.modernxmpp.org/client/invites/).

This module depends on mod_invites to actually create and store the invitation tokens.

# Configuration

To allow users to join your server through invitations, you must
enable mod_register_ibr and set allow_registration = true, and then
also set `registration_invite_only = true` to restrict registration.

| Name                     | Description                                                                       | Default |
|--------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
| registration_invite_only | Whether registration attempts without an invite token should be blocked           | true    |
| allow_user_invites       | Whether existing users should be allowed to invite new users to register accounts | true    |

## Example: Invite-only registration
``` {.lua}
-- To allow invitation through a token, mod_register
allow_registration = true
registration_invite_only = true
```

## Example: Open registration

This setup allows completely open registration, even without
an invite token.

``` {.lua}
allow_registration = true
registration_invite_only = false
```

## Invite creation permissions

To allow existing users of your server to send invitation links that
allow new people to join your server, you can set `allow_user_invites = true`.

If you do not wish users to invite other users to create accounts on your
server, set `allow_user_invites = false`. They will still be able to send
contact invites, but new contacts will be required to register an account
on a different server.

# Usage

Users can use the "New Invite" ad-hoc command through their client.

Admins can create registration links using prosodyctl, e.g.

```
prosodyctl mod_easy_invite example.com generate
```

# Compatibility

0.11 and later.
