mod_c2s_conn_throttle: Reduce log level from error->info Our general policy is that "error" should never be triggerable by remote entities, and that it is always about something that requires admin intervention. This satisfies neither condition. The "warn" level can be used for unexpected events/behaviour triggered by remote entities, and this could qualify. However I don't think failed auth attempts are unexpected enough. I selected "info" because it is what is also used for other notable session lifecycle events.

Details
=======

mod_invites_adhoc allows XMPP clients to create new invites on the server.
Clients must support either XEP-0401 (Easy Onboarding) or XEP-0050 (Ad-hoc
commands).

There are three types of invitation that can be created:

| Invite type | Description |
|--|--|
| Account-only invites | These can be used to register a new account |
| Contact-only invites | These can be shared with a contact so they can easily add you to their contact list |
| Account-and-contact invites | Like a contact-only invite, but also allows the contact to register on the current server if they don't already have an XMPP account |

Only configured admins of the server are able to create account-only invites. By default
normal users may only create contact-only invites, but account-and-contact invites can
be enabled with the `allow_user_invites` option.

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

| Name                  | Description                                                           | Default                                   |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| allow_user_invites    | Whether non-admin users can invite contacts to register on this server| `false`                                   |
| allow_contact_invites | Whether non-admin users can invite contacts to their roster           | `true`                                    |

The `allow_user_invites` option should be set as desired. However it is
strongly recommended to leave the other option (`allow_contact_invites`)
at its default to provide the best user experience.
