mod_csi_muc_priorities: Allow setting the default priority for mucs to low Move the priority checking after the mention check so that if there is a mention we return true. Add an option to the form to set the default priority to low. Return `nil` in cases where we determite that the priority should be high, as with `mod_csi_simple` this causes normal MUC messages to be marked important while allowing mod_csi_grace_period and unneeded messages to be queued.

summary: Compatibility layer for Prosody's future roles API
---

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

This module provides compatibility with Prosody's new role and permissions
system. It aims to run on Prosody 0.11 and 0.12, providing a limited version
of the new API backed by is_admin() (which is not going to be present in trunk
and future Prosody versions).

It is designed for use by modules which want to be compatible with Prosody
versions with and without the new permissions API.

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

There is no configuration.

Usage (for developers)
======================

If you are a module developer, and want your module to work with Prosody trunk
and future releases, you should avoid the `usermanager.is_admin()` function.

Instead, depend on this module:

```
module:depends("compat_roles")
```

Then use `module:may()` instead:

```
if module:may(":do-something") then
  -- Blah
end
```

For more information on the new role/permissions API, check Prosody's
developer documentation at https://prosody.im/doc/developers/permissions

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

Requires Prosody 0.11 or 0.12.
