mod_http_admin_api: restructure group-related info in API - Return the members of the group right in the get_group_by_id call. This is an O(1) of extra work. - Remove the groups attribute from get_user_by_name as that is O(n) of work and rarely immediately needed. The replacement for the group membership information in the user is for now to use the group API and iterate; future work may fix that.

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
