usermanager: Add back temporary is_admin to warn about deprecated API usage
Goal: Introduce role-auth with minimal disruption
is_admin() is unsafe in a system with per-session permissions, so it has been
deprecated.
Roll-out approach:
1) First, log a warning when is_admin() is used. It should continue to
function normally, backed by the new role API. Nothing is really using
per-session authz yet, so there is minimal security concern.
The 'strict_deprecate_is_admin' global setting can be set to 'true' to
force a hard failure of is_admin() attempts (it will log an error and
always return false).
2) In some time (at least 1 week), but possibly longer depending on the number
of affected deployments: switch 'strict_deprecate_is_admin' to 'true' by
default. It can still be disabled for systems that need it.
3) Further in the future, before the next release, the option will be removed
and is_admin() will be permanently disabled.

Structure of a session: session { -- properties -- conn -- the tcp connection notopen -- true if stream has not been initiated, removed after receiving <stream:steam> type -- the connection type. Valid values include: -- "c2s_unauthed" - connection has not been authenticated yet -- "c2s" - from a local client to the server username -- the node part of the client's jid (not defined before auth) host -- the host part of the client's jid (not defined before stream initiation) resource -- the resource part of the client's full jid (not defined before resource binding) full_jid -- convenience for the above 3 as string in username@host/resource form (not defined before resource binding) priority -- the resource priority, default: 0 presence -- the last non-directed presence with no type attribute. initially nil. reset to nil on unavailable presence. interested -- true if the resource requested the roster. Interested resources receive roster updates. Initially nil. roster -- the user's roster. Loaded as soon as the resource is bound (session becomes a connected resource). -- methods -- send(x) -- converts x to a string, and writes it to the connection close(x) -- Disconnect the user and clean up the session, best call sessionmanager.destroy_session() instead of this in most cases } if session.full_jid (also session.roster and session.resource) then this is a "connected resource" if session.presence then this is an "available resource" (all available resources are connected resources) if session.interested then this is an "interested resource" (all interested resources are connected resources)
