mod_http_oauth2: Fill in some client metadata defaults Explicit > Implicit Maybe we should actually use these for something as well? :) It's is somewhat an open question of how strictly we should enforce things in the client metadata given that it is somewhat extensible. Especially some of these enum fields which have corresponding IANA registries.

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
