util.paseto: Drop custom wrappers around key objects The PASETO spec recommends - no, *requires* - that implementations enforce type safety for keys, and e.g. do not pass them around as arbitrary byte strings. Typed wrapper objects are recommended. I originally followed this advice when starting the lib. However, key wrapping and type safety is now also a feature of util.crypto. All we're doing is duplicating it unnecessarily with this additional wrapper code.

This file documents the structure of the roster object.

table roster {
  [string bare_jid] = roster_item
}

table roster_item {
  string subscription = "none" | "to" | "from" | "both"
  string name = Opaque string set by client. (optional)
  set groups = a set of opaque strings set by the client
  boolean ask = nil | "subscribe" - a value of true indicates subscription is pending
}

The roster is available as
 hosts[host].sessions[username].roster
and a copy is made to session.roster for all sessions.

All modifications to a roster should be done through the rostermanager.
