mod_rest: Workaround lack of number coercion in util.datamapper for HTTP upload util.datamapper will not coerce a string into an integer like the XEP-0363 'size' slot, which becomes a problem when using the HTTP GET method, passing fields as ?query parameters which are always strings.

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

Invites are an intermediate way between opening registrations completely and
closing registrations completely.

By letting users invite other users to the server, an administrator exposes
themselves again to the risk of abuse.

To combat that abuse more effectively, this module allows to store (outside
of the user’s information) who created an invite which was used to create the
user’s account.

Details
=======

Add to `modules_enabled`.

Caveats
=======

- The information is not deleted even when the associated user accounts are
  deleted.
- Currently, there is no way to make any use of that information.
