mod_auth_ccert/README: Add setting to ensure Prosdy asks for client certificate This used to be the default for all services, but since it triggers annoying popups in web browsers it was inverted in Prosody and only s2s enables it, so it needs to be explicitly enabled for c2s again. See trunk 115b5e32d960 Thanks debacle

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)
