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.

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.
