net: isolate LuaSec-specifics For this, various accessor functions are now provided directly on the sockets, which reach down into the LuaSec implementation to obtain the information. While this may seem of little gain at first, it hides the implementation detail of the LuaSec+LuaSocket combination that the actual socket and the TLS layer are separate objects. The net gain here is that an alternative implementation does not have to emulate that specific implementation detail and "only" has to expose LuaSec-compatible data structures on the new functions.

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.
