mod_invites_register_api: Use set_password() for password resets
Previously the code relied on the (weird) behaviour of create_user(), which
would update the password for a user account if it already existed. This has
several issues, and we plan to deprecate this behaviour of create_user().
The larger issue is that this route does not trigger the user-password-changed
event, which can be a security problem. For example, it did not disconnect
existing user sessions (this occurs in mod_c2s in response to the event).
Switching to set_password() is the right thing to do

| 1888 | 6 Introduction |
| 7 ============ | |
| 8 | |
| 9 This is an experimental authentication module that does an asynchronous | |
| 10 HTTP call to verify username and password. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 Details | |
| 13 ======= | |
| 14 | |
| 15 When a user attempts to authenticate to Prosody, this module takes the | |
| 16 username and password and does a HTTP GET request with [Basic | |
| 17 authentication][rfc7617] to the configured `http_auth_url`. | |
