Add the new RewriteMap types `rnd' and `int' to mod_rewrite to allow Apache to

be used as a Reverse Proxy (where the backend servers are choosen via a `rnd'
map) and to allow mass virtual hosting without <VirtualHost> sections (where
you have to fix the case of server names when translating the Host-Header to a
directory structure).

Together with the comitted ProxyPassReverse directive we now have solved
two things the users have asked in the past:

1. The ability to use Apache as a full-featured Reverse Proxy
2. The ability to do mass virtual hosting without <VirtualHost> sections.

For both topics we should write stand-alone documents (perhaps inside
htdocs/manual/misc/) because they are not trivial to do, even when we now have
the functionality ;-)
