mod_invites_register_api: Use set_password() for password resets
Previously the code relied on the (weird) behaviour of create_user(), which
would update the password for a user account if it already existed. This has
several issues, and we plan to deprecate this behaviour of create_user().
The larger issue is that this route does not trigger the user-password-changed
event, which can be a security problem. For example, it did not disconnect
existing user sessions (this occurs in mod_c2s in response to the event).
Switching to set_password() is the right thing to do

--- summary: Workaround for Dialback with some servers that violate RFC 6120 ... This module provides a workaround for servers that do not set the `to` attribute on stream headers, which is required per [RFC6120]: > ## 4.7.2. to > > For initial stream headers in both client-to-server and > server-to-server communication, the initiating entity MUST include the > 'to' attribute and MUST set its value to a domainpart that the > initiating entity knows or expects the receiving entity to service. As a side effect of [this issue](https://prosody.im/issues/issue/285), Prosody 0.10 will be unable to do [Dialback][xep220] with servers that don't follow this. # Known servers affected * Openfire 3.10.2 (and probably earlier versions)
