mod_s2s_auth_dane: Disable now redundant validation done in trunk
Outgoing connections can now be validated natively in trunk since
a38f9e09ca31 so we only need to check incoming connections.

summary: 'Test account credentials using HTTP'
...
Introduction
------------
This module lets you test whether a set of credentials are valid,
using Prosody's configured authentication mechanism.
This is useful as an easy way to allow other (e.g. non-XMPP) applications
to authenticate users using their XMPP credentials.
Syntax
------
To test credentials, issue a simple GET request with HTTP basic auth:
GET /auth_check HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic <base64(jid:password)>
Prosody will return a 2xx code on success (user exists and credentials are
correct), or 401 if the credentials are invalid. Any other code may be returned
if there is a problem handling the request.
### Example usage
Here follows some example usage using `curl`.
curl http://prosody.local:5280/auth_check -u user@example.com:secr1t
