mod_auth_cyrus: Add empty 'profile' table to SASL handler objects
This is for compatibility with Prosody's built-in util.sasl objects.
A SASL profile table usually includes methods supported by the backend, which
can be used by SASL mechanism handlers to perform operations (such as testing
the password). It also optionally contains a 'cb' field with channel binding
method handlers.
The Cyrus backend doesn't support channel binding, and doesn't have the same
concept of auth backend methods (it handles all that internally, and Prosody
has no insight or control over it).
Thus, we create an empty profile which informs Prosody that the SASL handler
does not support any of the auth or channel binding methods. Some features
will not work, but they didn't work anyway. This just makes it explicit.
This fixes a traceback in mod_sasl2_fast, which expected SASL handlers to
always contain a 'profile' field.

--- summary: HTTP Authentication using custom JSON protocol ... Introduction ============ To authenticate users, this module does a `POST` request to a configured URL with a JSON payload. It is not async so requests block the server until answered. Configuration ============= ``` lua VirtualHost "example.com" authentication = "custom_http" auth_custom_http = { post_url = "http://api.example.com/auth"; } ``` Protocol ======== The JSON payload consists of an object with `username` and `password` members: {"username":"john","password":"secr1t"} The module expects the response body to be exactly `true` if the username and password are correct.
