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

--- labels: - 'Stage-Alpha' summary: 'Automatically reserve nicknames of MUC users' ... Introduction ============ This module automatically reserves the nickname of a user when they first join a MUC. That's all. Details ======= The module doesn't currently update the registration if the user changes their nick. That could cause flip-flopping if the user has two clients in regular use with different nicks configured. Compatibility ============= Requires Prosody trunk (0.12) for the API introduced in commit [0e7dedd8b18d](https://hg.prosody.im/trunk/rev/0e7dedd8b18d) and [e0b58717f0c5](https://hg.prosody.im/trunk/rev/e0b58717f0c5).
