  *) Sync 2.4 and trunk
       - Avoid some memory allocation and work when TRACE1 is not activated
       - fix typo in include guard
       - indent

     mod_session_dbd: Make sure that dirty flag is respected when saving

     through, ensuring that all headers listed by Connection are removed.
     [Graham Leggett, Co-Advisor <coad measurement-factory.com>]

  *) mod_proxy_http: Make the proxy-interim-response environment variable
     effective by formally overriding origin server behaviour. [Graham
     Leggett, Co-Advisor <coad measurement-factory.com>]
  *) mod_proxy: Fix seg-faults when using the global pool on threaded
     MPMs [Thomas Eckert <thomas.r.w.eckert gmail.com>, Graham Leggett,
     Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_deflate: Remove assumptions as to when an EOS bucket might arrive.
     Gracefully step aside if the body size is zero. [Graham Leggett]
