mod_firewall: Update user marks to store instantly via map store
The original approach was to keep marks in memory only, and persist them at
shutdown. That saves I/O, at the cost of potentially losing marks on an
unclean shutdown.
This change persists marks instantly, which may have some performance overhead
but should be more "correct".
It also splits the marking/unmarking into an event which may be watched or
even fired by other modules.

| 10 This module implements a mechanism via which clients can exchange a password | |
| 11 for a secure token, improving security and streamlining future reconnections. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 At the time of writing, the XEP that describes the FAST protocol is still | |
| 14 working its way through the XSF standards process. You can [view the FAST XEP | |
| 15 proposal here](https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-fast.html). | |
| 16 | |
| 17 This module depends on [mod_sasl2]. | |
| 18 | |
| 19 ## Configuration | |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Name | Description | Default | | |
| 22 |---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------| | |
| 23 | sasl2_fast_token_ttl | Default token expiry (seconds) | `86400*21` (21 days) | | |
| 24 | sasl2_fast_token_min_ttl | Time before tokens are eligible for rotation (seconds) | `86400` (1 day) | | |
| 25 | |
| 26 The `sasl2_fast_token_ttl` option determines the length of time a client can | |
| 27 remain disconnected before being "logged out" and needing to authenticate with | |
| 28 a password. Clients must perform at least one FAST authentication within this | |
| 29 period to remain active. | |
| 30 | |
| 31 The `sasl2_fast_token_min_ttl` option defines how long before a token will be | |
| 32 rotated by the server. By default a token is rotated if it is older than 24 | |
| 33 hours. This value should be less than `sasl2_fast_token_ttl` to prevent | |
| 34 clients being logged out unexpectedly. |
