mod_http_muc_log: Fix exception on lack of trailing slash in room path A request to /room leads to the match call returning nil which in turn calls nodeprep(nil). In Prosody 0.11.x this does nothing and simply returns the nil, while in 0.12 it is an error. Now it redirects to the calendar view at /room/ - even for non-existant rooms. Discovered at a deployment with http_paths = { muc_log = "/" } and requests to /robots.txt and similar, which now result in a uses redirect before returning 404.

summary: Workaround for Dialback with some servers that violate RFC 6120
...

This module provides a workaround for servers that do not set the `to`
attribute on stream headers, which is required per [RFC6120]:

> ## 4.7.2. to
> 
> For initial stream headers in both client-to-server and
> server-to-server communication, the initiating entity MUST include the
> 'to' attribute and MUST set its value to a domainpart that the
> initiating entity knows or expects the receiving entity to service.

As a side effect of [this issue](https://prosody.im/issues/issue/285),
Prosody 0.10 will be unable to do [Dialback][xep220] with servers that
don't follow this.

# Known servers affected

* Openfire 3.10.2 (and probably earlier versions)
