mod_http_admin_api: Tweak token session to please module:may() module:may() checks for type == "c2s", but mod_tokenauth does not currently include that or most common session properties. Fixes a traceback resulting from a different code path where module:may() tries to index event.stanza, which does not exist for http events.

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

This is an experimental authentication module that does an asynchronous
HTTP call to verify username and password.

Details
=======

When a user attempts to authenticate to Prosody, this module takes the
username and password and does a HTTP GET request with [Basic
authentication][rfc7617] to the configured `http_auth_url`.

Configuration
=============

``` lua
VirtualHost "example.com"
authentication = "http_async"
http_auth_url = "http://example.com/auth"
```

Compatibility
=============

Requires Prosody trunk
