mod_muc_markers: Add option for @id rewriting, default off (may break some clients) XEP-0333 was updated to clarify that stanza-id should be used instead of the 'id' attribute when in a MUC. Some clients still use the id attribute, which is why we were rewriting it. Rewriting is bad because mod_muc advertises stable_id, indicating that Prosody does *not* rewrite ids. Recent versions of Conversations actually depend on this being true. All clients should migrate to using stanza-id for markers. See XEP-0333.

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

This is an experimental authentication module that does an asynchronous
HTTP call to verify username and password.

Details
=======

When a user attempts to authenticate to Prosody, this module takes the
username and password and does a HTTP GET request with [Basic
authentication][rfc7617] to the configured `http_auth_url`.

Configuration
=============

``` lua
VirtualHost "example.com"
authentication = "http_async"
http_auth_url = "http://example.com/auth"
```

Compatibility
=============

Requires Prosody trunk
