The data format used by plugin v6.3.0 was not well suited.
Here comes a new data format, with S2S informations.
The plugin can automatically upgrade old format.
It also continues to provide the old format, so than remote instance
that did not update the plugin will still work.
Note: websocket s2s is not working yet, still WIP.
New Features
* Chat Federation:
* You can now connect to a remote chat with your local account.
* This remote connection is done using a custom implementation of [XEP-0468: WebSocket S2S](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0468.html), using some specific discovering method (so that it will work without any DNS configuration).
Minor changes and fixes
* Possibility to debug Prosody in development environments.
* Using process.spawn instead of process.exec to launch Prosody (safer, and more optimal).
* Prosody AppImage: fix path mapping: we only map necessary /etc/ subdir, so that the AppImage can access to /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, ...
* Prosody AppImage: hidden debug mode to disable lua-unbound, that seems broken in some docker dev environments.
* if both local and remote instance have external XMPP connections enabled, the user joins the remote room with his local account
* some code refactoring (builtin.ts)
Note: documentation and settings descriptions are to do.

Replacing webpack by ESBuild for client code compilation (as in the
official quickstart plugin).
So we can remove deprecated webpack dependencies.
Note: webpack is still used for ConverseJS build.
This may be removed soon.

* Builtin Prosody, Share chat url: fixed new day hidding when no scrollbar in readonly mode.
From now on, webchat can only be activated for local videos.
It will never be displayed on remote videos.
This is because an incompatibility with a new feature (webchat per channel).
Moreover this feature was very limited: the webchat was not shared with the remote instance (this will probably be achieved in a future release).
