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_tweet_data

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

It's similar to [mod_ogp](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_ogp.html) but is adapted specifically to Twitter.com, which doesn't support the [Open Graph Protocol](https://ogp.me).

When a user sends a tweet URL in a MUC (where the message has its `id` equal to its `origin-id`), this module calls that URL to get the tweet data.
If it finds any, it sends a [XEP-0422 fastening](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0422.html) applied to the original message that looks as follows (note, I haven't used real data here):

```xml
    <message xmlns="jabber:client" to="user@chat.example.org/resource" from="chatroom@muc.example.org" type="groupchat">
        <apply-to xmlns="urn:xmpp:fasten:0" id="82dbc94c-c18a-4e51-a0d5-9fd3a7bfd267">

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

You'll need to provide a Twitter APIv2 bearer token.

```lua
Component "muc.example.org" "muc"
  modules_enabled = { "tweet_data" }
  twitter_apiv2_bearer_token  = { "some-very-long-string" }
```
