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 stanza:


stanza {
	--- properties ---
	tags -- array of tags
	
	--- static methods ---
	iq(attrs) -- 
	
	--- read-only methods ---
	reply -- return new stanza with attributes of current stanza
	child_with_name(string name) -- return the first child of the current tag with the matching name
	
	--- write methods ---
	tag(name, sttrs) -- create a new child of the current tag, and set the child as current
	up() -- move to the parent of the current tag
	text(string) -- append a new text node to the current tag
}
