mod_storage_xmlarchive: Fix "user" iteration API Fixes use in prosody-migrator. Otherwise this particular API is not used much, or this would have been noticed before. Usually it is a different store like 'accounts' that is responsible for providing the authoritative list of users. Thanks Ge0rG for testing

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

In order to build heuristics for which messages are spam, it is necessary to
log as many details as possible about the spammers. This module sends a
version and disco query whenever a message is received from a JID to a user it
is not subscribed to. The results are printed to Prosody's log file at the
'info' level. Queried full JIDs are not queried again until Prosody restarts.

The queries are sent regardless of whether the local user exists, so it does
not reveal if an account is active.

Compatibility
