mod_invites_page: Remove preauth URI button This button is incompatible with the majority of XMPP clients around, yet based on feedback from users, many are drawn to click it when they have any XMPP client installed already. In the case where the user already has software installed, we would prefer them to select it from the software list so they can follow the setup process suited to their specific client (we already track which software supports preauth URIs). If their client is not listed, they can still use the manual registration link instead.

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.
