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.

Exposes server information over Pub/Sub per [XEP-0485: PubSub Server Information](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0485.html).

The module announces support (used to 'opt-in', per the XEP) and publishes the name of the local domain via a Pub/Sub node. The published data
will contain a 'remote-domain' element for inbound and outgoing s2s connections. These elements will be named only when the remote domain announces
support ('opts in') too.

**Known issues:**

- [Issue #1841](https://issues.prosody.im/1841): In Prosody 0.12, this module conflicts with mod_server_contact_info (both will run, but it may affect the ability of some implementations to read the server/contact information provided). To work around this issue, the [mod_server_contact_info](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_server_contact_info) community module can be used.

Installation
============

Enable this module in the global or a virtual host.

The default configuration requires the existence of a Pub/Sub component that uses the 'pubsub' subdomain of the host in which the module is enabled:

    Component "pubsub.example.org" "pubsub"

The module will create a node and publish data, using a JID that matches the XMPP domain name of the host. Ensure that this actor is an admin of the
Pub/Sub service:

    admins = { "example.org" }

Configuration
=============

The Pub/Sub service on which data is published, by default, is a component addressed as the `pubsub` subdomain of the domain of the virtual host that
the module is loaded under. To change this, apply this configuration setting:

    pubsub_serverinfo_service = "anotherpubsub.example.org"

The Pub/Sub node on which data is published is, by default, a leaf-node named `serverinfo`. To change this, apply this configuration setting:

    pubsub_serverinfo_node = "foobar"

To prevent a surplus of event notifications, this module will only publish new data after a certain period of time has expired. The default duration
is 300 seconds (5 minutes). To change this simply put in the config:

    pubsub_serverinfo_publication_interval = 180 -- or any other number of seconds

To detect if remote domains allow their domain name to be included in the data that this module publishes, this module will perform a service
discovery request to each remote domain. To prevent a continuous flood of disco/info requests, the response to these requests is cached. By default,
a cached value will remain in cache for one hour. This duration can be modified by adding this configuration option:

    pubsub_serverinfo_cache_ttl = 1800 -- or any other number of seconds

To include the count of active (within the past 30 days) users:

    pubsub_serverinfo_publish_user_count = true

Enabling this option will automatically load mod_measure_active_users.

Compatibility
=============

Incompatible with 0.11 or lower.

Known Issues / TODOs
====================

The reported data does not contain the optional 'connection' child elements. These can be used to describe the direction of a connection.

More generic server information (eg: user counts, software version) should be included in the data that is published.
