Describe your feature

XEP-0484 FAST token authentication is currently missing from Monal, while many other clients already implement it. Support is available in released versions of Prosody and ejabberd.

Using FAST auth reduces round-trips (leading to faster reconnections), and ensures the server can exclude the client from 2FA prompts and "new client" alerts which are triggered when clients authenticate using a password, which helps to keep user accounts secure.

Fixing this issue would fix snikket-im/snikket-server#240 which is being experienced by Monal users connecting to Snikket instances.
