Have "email" as a people search query type supported in the "Add People" dialog about jitsi-meet

I would like to work on this issue. Thank You!!!

@damencho What do you think ? Can we start to work on it ?

[damencho]

How will you authenticate the http requests that are executed in the addPeopleDialog?

[raphaelbadawi]

Well right now in my current build I've added "credentials: "include"" in the fetch calls coming from searchDirectory and invitePeopleAndChatRooms. So cookies are included in the request and so my directory service can work things out.

This is not an ideal solution.

I guess it would be better to be able to add custom keys and values in the query string, via the config.js, so whatever the directory service is expecting it could just be added to the query string by tweaking config.js.

[damencho]

Adding something in config.js is not an option, as it is publicly accessible. You need something per user as the jwt.

[raphaelbadawi]

Even if the something actually refers to a localStorage key for example?

[damencho]

Yeah, maybe read a value from there and add it as Authorization to the request, that will work.
If you are preparing a PR, make sure this is turned off by default and current behaviour is not changed.

Okay I will base the PR on those specs ;-) Thanks!
