mod_http_oauth2: Apply refresh token ttl to refresh token instead of grant The intent in 59d5fc50f602 was for refresh tokens to extend the lifetime of the grant, but the refresh token ttl was applied to the grant and mod_tokenauth does not change it, leading to the grant expiring regardless of refresh token usage. This makes grant lifetimes unlimited, which seems to be standard practice in the wild.

::: {.alert .alert-warning}
This module is an experiment about a more graceful shutdown process.

Graceful shutdown has now been implemented in Prosody trunk and will be
part 0.12. See [issue #1225](https://issues.prosody.im/1225) for
details.
:::

Why
===

When shutting down, a number of sessions, connections and other things
are teared down. Due to all these things happening very quickly,
sometimes e.g. client unavailable notifications don't make it to all
remote contacts because the server-to-server connections are teared down
just after.

How
===

This module works by breaking the shutdown process into separate steps
with a brief pause between them.

It goes something like this

1.  Stop accepting new client connections.
2.  Close all client connections.
3.  Fire event for everything else.
4.  Tell `net.server` to quit the main loop.
5.  ???
6.  Still here? Kill itself.
