mod_invites_register_api: Use set_password() for password resets Previously the code relied on the (weird) behaviour of create_user(), which would update the password for a user account if it already existed. This has several issues, and we plan to deprecate this behaviour of create_user(). The larger issue is that this route does not trigger the user-password-changed event, which can be a security problem. For example, it did not disconnect existing user sessions (this occurs in mod_c2s in response to the event). Switching to set_password() is the right thing to do.

Description
============

This is an experimental module that aims to identify the different
devices (technically clients) that a user uses with their account.

It is expected that at some point this will be backed by a nicer protocol,
but it currently uses a variety of hacky methods to track devices between
sessions.

Usage
=====

``` {.lua}
modules_enabled = {
    -- ...
    "devices",
    -- ...
}
```
