mod_http_oauth2: Support HTTP Basic auth on token endpoint
This is described in RFC 6749 section 2.3.1 and draft-ietf-oauth-v2-1-07 2.3.1
as the recommended way to transmit the client's credentials.
The older spec even calls it the "client password", but the new spec clarifies
that this is just another term for the client secret.

--- labels: summary: 'Test account credentials using HTTP' ... Introduction ------------ This module lets you test whether a set of credentials are valid, using Prosody's configured authentication mechanism. This is useful as an easy way to allow other (e.g. non-XMPP) applications to authenticate users using their XMPP credentials. Syntax ------ To test credentials, issue a simple GET request with HTTP basic auth: GET /auth_check HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Basic <base64(jid:password)> Prosody will return a 2xx code on success (user exists and credentials are correct), or 401 if the credentials are invalid. Any other code may be returned if there is a problem handling the request. ### Example usage Here follows some example usage using `curl`. curl http://prosody.local:5280/auth_check -u user@example.com:secr1t
