mod_pubsub_post: Restructure authentication and authorization (BC) This deprecates the default "superuser" actor model and makes the default equivalent to the previous "request.id". A single actor and secret per node is supported because HTTP and WebHooks don't normally include any authorization identity. Allowing authentication bypass when no secret is given should be relatively safe when the actor is unprivileged, as will be unless explicitly configured otherwise.

Description
============

This is an experimental module that aims to identify the different
devices (technically clients) that a user uses with their account.

It is expected that at some point this will be backed by a nicer protocol,
but it currently uses a variety of hacky methods to track devices between
sessions.

Usage
=====

``` {.lua}
modules_enabled = {
    -- ...
    "devices",
    -- ...
}
```
