mod_openid, mod_json_streams: Remove modules depending on obsolete net.httpserver API These have not been updated for a long time and do not work with Prosody versions from recent years, which is a good indication they are not being used.

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

In order to build heuristics for which messages are spam, it is necessary to
log as many details as possible about the spammers. This module sends a
version and disco query whenever a message is received from a JID to a user it
is not subscribed to. The results are printed to Prosody's log file at the
'info' level. Queried full JIDs are not queried again until Prosody restarts.

The queries are sent regardless of whether the local user exists, so it does
not reveal if an account is active.
