After 11 years of "temporary" monkey patches, I've finally made a friendly fork of Wokkel
at https://www.goffi.org/forge/goffi/tx-xmpp with all needed PRs merged and changes from
`sat_tmp`, using the same license as Wokkel (with agreement from contributors). No more
monkey patching, and it will also stop the deprecation warning due to outdated packages
used in Wokkel. Last but not least, it should unblock the move to the latest Twisted and
Python versions.
2 new methods `get_plugin_data` and `set_plugin_data` let plugin register data for a given
profile session (i.e. client instance). This is the clean way to handle plugin data
(instead of the former way of adding custom attribute to `client` instance), and it uses
generics so type hints are working correctly with linters.
- Add the `txtorcon` optional dependency, used with `tor` extra.
- Add settings for Tor.
- Use Tor endpoint when an `.onion` XMPP domain is used, of when Tor is explicitely
enabled in conf.
- Disable WebRTC, for now it's the safer option as WebRTC can leak IP. It should be
possible to use it over Tor by forcing the use of a .onion relay, but this is to be
explored later (A/V should be to slow to be usable, but that stay relevant for file
transfer or other WebRTC powered things).
- A new `treq` instance using Tor WebAgent is used when Tor is enabled. Properties has
been added to SatXMPPEntity to conveniently get the right instance.
- Another `tor_mode` property has been added with corresponding bridge methods, to see if
Tor is activated and in which mode for a given profile. For now there are only two modes
(disabled, and enabled with WebRTC disabled), but in the future it may be possible to
activate WebRTC over Tor, or to use Tor only to connect to XMPP server, while using
clearnet for other connections.
- Tor dedicated models have been added, and bridge methods have been added to build and
get them.
- Fix tests.

This is a huge configuration refactoring.
The configuration system now uses Pydantic settings, with better validation, better
support for environment variables and other goodies.
The main config files now use TOML instead of INI, this allow for better handling of
complex types, notably dict.
Plugins, components and frontends can declare their config settings in a class which will
be imported dynamically.
This new model is easier to manipulate and serialize, and use the benefits from Pydantic's
data validation mechanisms. It has method to easily convert to/from Wokkel data form or
to/from a domish.Element.

- Implement Pubsub Extended Discovery, and Pydantic models to handle the data easily.
- `client.discoHandler` initialisation has been moved in `core.xmpp` at an earlier stage
of the workflow as it has to be initialised so XEP-0499 could remove the default disco
handler to handle disco itself.
- Removed `Disco handled` trigger point as it was not used.

There are 2 concurrent models, this one is an historical legacy. The type to use the one
from `libervia.backend.models.core`, and it will progressively be used everywhere and
fully based on Pydantic.
If a message comes from a gateway, its type is used as `origin` in `extra`, and it has a
name, it's used as `origin_label`.
`is-bot` is also set when the sending entity is advertised as a bot.

`get_handler` can now return several handlers, which is notably useful for component with
several included services.
Various improvements such move to `async` method, docstring/type hints update, and slight
improvment of SatXMPPComponent.

- Code has been rewritten using Pydantic models and `async` coroutines for data validation
and cleaner element parsing/generation.
- Delivery has been completely rewritten. It now works even if server doesn't support
multicast, and send to local multicast service first. Delivering to local multicast
service first is due to bad support of XEP-0033 in server (notably Prosody which has an
incomplete implementation), and the current impossibility to detect if a sub-domain
service handles fully multicast or only for local domains. This is a workaround to have
a good balance between backward compatilibity and use of bandwith, and to make it work
with the incoming email gateway implementation (the gateway will only deliver to
entities of its own domain).
- disco feature checking now uses `async` corountines. `host` implementation still use
Deferred return values for compatibility with legacy code.
