mod_http_oauth2: Use more compact IDs UUIDs are nice but so verbose! The reduction in entropy for the nonce should be fine since the timestamp is also counts towards this, and it changes every second (modulo clock shenanigans), so the chances of someone managing to get the same client_secret by registering with the same information at the same time as another entity should be negligible.

summary: Workaround for Dialback with some servers that violate RFC 6120
...

This module provides a workaround for servers that do not set the `to`
attribute on stream headers, which is required per [RFC6120]:

> ## 4.7.2. to
> 
> For initial stream headers in both client-to-server and
> server-to-server communication, the initiating entity MUST include the
> 'to' attribute and MUST set its value to a domainpart that the
> initiating entity knows or expects the receiving entity to service.

As a side effect of [this issue](https://prosody.im/issues/issue/285),
Prosody 0.10 will be unable to do [Dialback][xep220] with servers that
don't follow this.

# Known servers affected

* Openfire 3.10.2 (and probably earlier versions)
