mod_http_oauth2: Add role selector to consent page List includes all roles available to the user, if more than one. Defaults to either the first role in the scope string or the users primary role. Earlier draft listed all roles, but having options that can't be selected is bad UX and the entire list of all roles on the server could be long, and perhaps even sensitive. Allows e.g. picking a role with fewer permissions than what might otherwise have been selected. UX wise, doing this with more checkboxes or possibly radio buttons would have been confusion and/or looked messier. Fixes the previous situation where unselecting a role would default to the primary role, which could be more permissions than requested.

summary: Send XMPP stanzas via REST/HTTP
...

This module provides a [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer)ful
method for sending XMPP stanzas.

This enables you to send stanzas by making HTTP requests to `http://${prosody-url}/rest`.

**DANGER/ACHTUNG!: This module does NOT enforce any authentication or user-checking.
This means that by default stanzas can be sent *anyone* on behalf of *any* user.**

You should enable [mod_http_authentication](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_http_authentication.html),
to require authentication for calls made to this module, or alternatively, you
could use a reverse proxy like Nginx.

# To enable this module

Add `"http_rest"` to `modules_enabled`, either globally or for a particular virtual
host.

# How to test:

You can use curl to make the HTTP request to Prosody, to test whether this
module is working properly:

    curl -k http://localhost:5280/rest -u username:password -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d '<iq to="pubsub.localhost" type="set" id="4dd1a1e3-ef91-4017-a5aa-eaba0a82eb94-1" from="user@localhost"><pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub"><publish node="Test mod_rest.lua"><item>Hello World!</item></publish></pubsub></iq>'
