shutdown diaspora service and migrate sign ups to prosody or strip down diaspora just for sign up
As discussed in codema group, we are shutting down diaspora service due to lack of volunteers.

But we use diaspora for sign up/account deletion and password reset. Running full diaspora app for just user management is not efficient use of resources. So we need an alternative for these features.
- Use the default prosody sign up, then we need to figure out how to allow existing users (password encryption algorithm is different so we cannot simply copy the encrypted passwords).
- Extend the current prosody diaspora auth for user creation as well
- Strip down diaspora to have only user management features.
- Extract the user management features to a lighter rails app.
