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.

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

This module allows users with an account to generate single-use invite URLs
using an ad-hoc command. The invite URLs allow new users to create an account
even if public registration is disabled.

After the account is created, the inviter and the invitee are automatically
added to the other's roster. The inviter of a user is stored, so can be used
later (for example, for detecting spammers).

This module depends on Prosody's internal webserver.
