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

# mod_ogp

This module adds [Open Graph Protocol](https://ogp.me) metadata to URLs sent inside a MUC.

With mod_ogp enabled, when a user sends a URL in a MUC (where the message has its `id` equal to its `origin-id`), the module calls the URL and parses the result for `<meta>` html tags that have any `og:...` properties.
If it finds any, it sends a [XEP-0422 fastening](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0422.html) applied to the original message that looks like:

```xml
<message id="example" from="chatroom@muc.example.org" to="user@chat.example.org/resource">
<apply-to xmlns="urn:xmpp:fasten:0" id="origin-id-X">
<meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" property="og:title" content="The Rock"/>
<meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" property="og:url" content="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/"/>
<meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" property="og:image" content="https://ia.media-imdb.com/images/rock.jpg"/>
</apply-to>
</message>
```

The module is intentionally simple in the sense that it is basically a transport for https://ogp.me/

Configuration
-------------

You can present an allowlist or denylist of domains for which OGP metadata will be fetched
via the `ogp_domain_allowlist` and `ogp_domain_denylist` settings repectively.

For example:

```lua
Component "muc.example.org" "muc"
  modules_enabled = { "ogp" }
  ogp_domain_allowlist = { "prosody.im" }
```
