mod_external_services: Validate services added via events While writing developer documentation it became obvious that i was silly to have one item format for config and items API, and another format for the event API. Then there's the stanza format, but that's a common pattern. This change reduces the possible input formats to two and allows other modules the benefit of the processing and validation performed on items from the config.

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.
