mod_http_oauth2: Reject invalid attempt to register client without credentials The implicit flow works without a client_secret since the token is delivered directly, but all other currently supported grant types require client to authenticate using credentials, so it makes no sense to not issue credentials then.

summary: Workaround for Dialback with some servers that violate RFC 6120
...

This module provides a workaround for servers that do not set the `to`
attribute on stream headers, which is required per [RFC6120]:

> ## 4.7.2. to
> 
> For initial stream headers in both client-to-server and
> server-to-server communication, the initiating entity MUST include the
> 'to' attribute and MUST set its value to a domainpart that the
> initiating entity knows or expects the receiving entity to service.

As a side effect of [this issue](https://prosody.im/issues/issue/285),
Prosody 0.10 will be unable to do [Dialback][xep220] with servers that
don't follow this.

# Known servers affected
