mod_http_xep227: Add support for import via APIs rather than direct store manipulation In particular this transitions PEP nodes and data to be imported via mod_pep's APIs, fixing issues with importing at runtime while PEP data may already be live in RAM. Next obvious candidate for this approach is rosters, so clients get immediate roster pushes and other special handling (such as emitting subscribes to reach the desired subscription state).

summary: Experimental map store optimized for small incremental changes
...

This is an experimental storage driver where changed data is appended.
Data is simply written as `key = value` pairs to the end of the file.
This allows changes to individual keys to be written without needing to
write out the entire object again, but reads would grow gradually larger
as it still needs to read old overwritten keys. This may be suitable for
e.g. rosters where individual contacts are changed at a time. In theory,
this could also allow rolling back changes.
