Switch to using a more generic credentials_callback/handler for SASL auth. Not all authentication mechanisms have the same requirements; it makes sense to provide them only with the information they require (and for them to depend on that) so that as many auth mechanisms as possible can be supported with a variety of credentials-storing schemes. This commit patches that together

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.
