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.

Description
============

This is an experimental module that aims to identify the different
devices (technically clients) that a user uses with their account.

It is expected that at some point this will be backed by a nicer protocol,
but it currently uses a variety of hacky methods to track devices between
sessions.

Usage
=====

``` {.lua}
modules_enabled = {
    -- ...
    "devices",
    -- ...
}
```
