mod_authz_delegate: make resistant against startup order issues There is no guarantee that the target_host gets activated and initialized before the host this module is loaded on. As add_default_permission is called during load time by many modules, we need to be prepared to queue stuff.

summary: Experimental map store optimized for small incremental changes
...

This is an experimental storage driver where changed data is appended.
Data is simply written as `key = value` pairs to the end of the file.
This allows changes to individual keys to be written without needing to
write out the entire object again, but reads would grow gradually larger
as it still needs to read old overwritten keys. This may be suitable for
e.g. rosters where individual contacts are changed at a time. In theory,
this could also allow rolling back changes.
