mod_cloud_notify_encrypted: Ensure body substring remains valid UTF-8 The `body:sub()` call risks splitting the string in the middle of a multi-byte UTF-8 sequence. This should have been caught by util.stanza validation, but that would have caused some havoc, at the very least causing the notification to not be sent. There have been no reports of this happening. Likely because this module isn't widely deployed among users with languages that use many longer UTF-8 sequences. The util.encodings.utf8.valid() function is O(n) where only the last sequence really needs to be checked, but it's in C and expected to be fast.

Details
=======

mod_invites_register_web implements a web-based registration form that
validates invite tokens. It also supports guiding the user through client
download and configuration via mod_register_apps.

There is no specific configuration for this module (though it uses the
optional `site_name` to override the displayed site name.

You may also set `webchat_url` to the URL of a web chat that will be linked
to after successful registration. If not specified but mod_conversejs is loaded
on the current host, it will default to the URL of that module.

This module depends on mod_invites_page solely for the case where an invalid
invite token is received - it will redirect to mod_invites_page so that an
appropriate error can be served to the user.
