jabber should try to register on login failures

[anarcat]

It would be nice if the jabber source would try to register the account with the jabber server when it actually fails to login to the service. Since we mostly setup *new* accounts for the bot, that would make the most sense in most cases and would be a great usability improvement.

Is there an API for signing up to arbitrary servers?

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Yes, it's called registration

[Max Rabkin (max-rabkin)]

Perhaps this should be done in ibid-setup rather than by the bot itself? Doing at bot-startup time means we can't ask the owner whether they want to register, and it could result in creating unwanted accounts if there is a typo in the config.
