usermanager, mod_saslauth: Default to internal_hashed if no auth module specified The default config was updated in this way long ago, but if no option was present in the config, Prosody would load internal_plain. This change can result in changes (for the better) for people using very old configuration files lacking an 'authentication' setting.
