mod_http_oauth2: Rescope oauth client config into users' storage This produces client_id of the form owner@host/random and prevents clients from being deleted by registering an account with the same name and then deleting the account, as well as having the client automatically be deleted when the owner account is removed. On one hand, this leaks the bare JID of the creator to users. On the other hand, it makes it obvious who made the oauth application. This module is experimental and only for developers, so this can be changed if a better method comes up.

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.
