mod_http_oauth2: Implement stateless dynamic client registration
Replaces previous explicit registration that required either the
additional module mod_adhoc_oauth2_client or manually editing the
database. That method was enough to have something to test with, but
would not probably not scale easily.
Dynamic client registration allows creating clients on the fly, which
may be even easier in theory.
In order to not allow basically unauthenticated writes to the database,
we implement a stateless model here.
per_host_key := HMAC(config -> oauth2_registration_key, hostname)
client_id := JWT { client metadata } signed with per_host_key
client_secret := HMAC(per_host_key, client_id)
This should ensure everything we need to know is part of the client_id,
allowing redirects etc to be validated, and the client_secret can be
validated with only the client_id and the per_host_key.
A nonce injected into the client_id JWT should ensure nobody can submit
the same client metadata and retrieve the same client_secret

--- summary: Distrust servers with too small keys ... Introduction ============ This module sets the security status of s2s connections to invalid if their key is too small and their certificate was issued after 2014, per CA/B Forum guidelines. Details ======= Certificate Authorities were no longer allowed to issue certificates with public keys smaller than 2048 bits (for RSA) after December 31 2013. This module was written to enforce this, as there were some CAs that were slow to comply. As of 2015, it might not be very relevant anymore, but still useful for anyone who wants to increase their security levels. When a server is determined to have a "too small" key, this module sets its chain and identity status to "invalid", so Prosody will treat it as a self-signed certificate istead. "Too small" ----------- The definition of "too small" is based on the key type and is taken from [RFC 4492]. Type bits ------ ------ RSA 2048 DSA 2048 DH 2048 EC 233 Compatibility ============= Works with Prosody 0.9 and later. Requires LuaSec with [support for inspecting public keys](https://github.com/brunoos/luasec/pull/19).
