   * mod_dbd: Rename functions and variables for consistency, and move

     some functions around for readability, prior to making

     functional changes for PRs 39985, 41302, and other issues.

   * mod_dbd: Handle error conditions in dbd_construct() properly.

     Simplify ap_dbd_open() and use correct arguments to apr_dbd_error()

     when non-threaded.  Register correct cleanup data in non-threaded

     ap_dbd_acquire() and ap_dbd_cacquire().  Clean up configuration data

     and merge function.  Use ap_log_error() wherever possible.

   * beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when

     entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run().

     Otherwise modules' child_init hooks appear to never be executed.

     Also, destroying pmain ensures that cleanups registered in modules'

     child_init hooks are performed (e.g., mod_log_config and mod_dbd).

   * netware MPM: Destroy pmain pool when exiting ap_mpm_run() so that

     cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed (e.g.,

     mod_log_config and mod_dbd).

   * mod_dbd: Create memory sub-pools for each DB connection and close

     DB connections in a pool cleanup function.  Ensure prepared statements

     are destroyed before DB connection is closed.  When using reslists,

     prevent segfaults when child processes exit, and stop memory leakage

     of ap_dbd_t structures.  Avoid use of global s->process->pool, which

     isn't destroyed by exiting child processes in most multi-process MPMs.

     and the eventual solution as described in the comments in the

     dbd_setup() function.

   * mod_dbd: Introduce configuration groups to allow inheritance by virtual

     hosts of database configurations from the main server.  Determine the

     minimal set of distinct configurations and share connection pools

     whenever possible.  Allow virtual hosts to override inherited SQL

     statements.  See also the fourth section of:

       http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=116742014418304&w=2

     and the eventual solution as implemented in the dbd_post_config()

     function.  Obviates r424798, r432560, r432562, and r466641.

     Could be improved by the addition of <DBDGroup> configuration

     sections.  (Any takers?  :-)
