Add autocomplete of possible XMPP servers when registering a new account #2740

@melvo

Description

@melvo

Users want to have an easy onboarding (login / registration). An easy registration is feasible by suggesting XMPP providers for account registration. Once the onboarding is accomplished, users want to add new contacts easily. Suggestions for the XMPP provider's domain while typing the chat address can speed up that process.

The new project XMPP Providers tackles both tasks. It provides a curated list of providers. In contrast to similar projects, XMPP Providers categorizes providers so that client developers do not have to filter the list on their own. Additionally, it helps providers to improve their properties and integrate badges on their websites. That empowers the whole system of XMPP providers, users and client developers. The list also allows client developers to automatically address support to operators if that is an operator's issue!

There are already projects using XMPP Providers. UWPX shows how an implementation could look like. It would be great to see Converse joining them!


The task for this ticket is to update the input on the registration form to use converse-autocomplete to show a list of possible XMPP providers in categories A or B.
