Support for Security Labels on LW.Org IM

With the introduction of XEP-0258 support in Metronome, I also deployed it on lightwitch.org XMPP service. While at a first look this may look like a Bussness / Military only feature, but with a simplier approach at the Access Control Decision Function/Policy Enforcement related to this extension it's also possible to implement content filtering and restriction or just fancy tagging of messages.

An usage example, is restricting routing only to certain occupants in a MUC based on their affiliation. So you could for instance send a message to the room which only members could see etc.

You can get a Comprehensive list of changes introduced in Metronome v3.11 here
