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.

Introduction
============

[SIFT][XEP-0273] is a technology to allow clients to filter incoming
traffic on the server. This helps save bandwidth, etc.

Compatibility

Quirks
======

This implementation is a work in progress.

-   Stanzas to full JIDs get sifted correctly
-   Stanzas to bare JIDs are currently allowed/disallowed for all
    resources as a whole, and not for individual resources
-   Presence is only sent to available resources, and probes are not
    sent for unavailable reasources
-   This module currently does not interact with offline messages
    (filtered messages are dropped with an error reply)
-   Not tested with privacy lists
