remove Location: header checks for absolute URL

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7.1.2

   The "Location" header field is used in some responses to refer to a
   specific resource in relation to the response.  The type of
   relationship is defined by the combination of request method and
   status code semantics.

     Location = URI-reference

   The field value consists of a single URI-reference.  When it has the
   form of a relative reference ([RFC3986], Section 4.2), the final
   value is computed by resolving it against the effective request URI
   ([RFC3986], Section 5).


There is even an example with no scheme:

Dropped the never-released ap_has_cntrls() as it had very limited 
and inefficient application at that, added ap_scan_vchar_obstext()
to accomplish a similar purpose.

Dropped HttpProtocolOptions StrictURL option, this will be better
handled in the future with a specific directive and perhaps multiple
levels of scrutiny, use ap_scan_vchar_obstext() to simply ensure there
are no control characters or whitespace within the URI.

Changed the scanning of the response header table by check_headers()
to follow the same rulesets as reading request headers. Disallow any
CTL character within a response header value, and any CTL or whitespace
in response header field name, even in strict mode.

Apply HttpProtocolOptions Strict to chunk header parsing, invalid
whitespace is invalid, line termination must follow CRLF convention.

When redrawing the parser, ap_get_http_token looked to be useful, but there's
no application for this yet in httpd, so hold off adding this function when
we backport the enhancements. ap_scan_http_token was entirely sufficient.
If the community wants this new function, we can add it when backporting
work is complete.

This patch, and the earlier patches Friday actually demanded an mmn major
bump due to struct member changes. In any final backport, new members must
be added to the end of the struct to retain an mmn minor designation.

Rename LenientWhitespace to UnsafeWhitespace and change StrictWhitespace
to the default behavior, after discussion with fielding et al about the
purpose of section 3.5. Update the documentation to clarify this.

This patch removes whitespace considerations from the Strict|Unsafe toggle
and consolidates them all in the StrictWhitespace|UnsafeWhitespace toggle.

Added a bunch of logic comments to read_request_line parsing.

Dropped the badwhitespace list for an all-or-nothing toggle in rrl.

Leading space before the method is optimized to be evaluated only once.

Toggled the request from HTTP/0.9 to HTTP/1.0 for more BAD_REQUEST cases.

Moved s/[\n\v\f\r]/ / cleanup logic earlier in the cycle, to operate on
each individual line read, and catch bad whitespace errors earlier.
This changes the obs-fold to more efficiently condense whitespace and
forces concatinatination with a single SP, always. Overrides are not
necessary since obs-fold is clearly deprecated.

Rename the previously undocumented HTTPProtocol directive
to EnforceHTTPProtocol, and invert the default behavior
to strictly observe RFC 7230 unless otherwise configured.
And Document This.

The relaxation option is renamed 'Unsafe'. 'Strict' is no
longer case sensitive. 'min=0.9|1.0' is now the verbose
'Allow0.9' or 'Require1.0' case-insenstive grammer. The
exclusivity tests have been modified to detect conflicts.

The 'strict,log' option failed to enforce strict conformance,
and has been removed. Unsafe, informational logging is possible
in any loadable module, after the request data is unsafely
accepted.

This triggers a group of failures in t/apache/headers.t as
expected since those patterns violated RFC 7230 section 3.2.4.

error reply is needed. Conforms to RFC7230 in all respects,
the section 3.5 optional behavior can be disabled by the user
with a new HttpProtocolOptions StrictWhitespace flag. In all
cases, the_request is regenerated from the parsed components
with exactly two space characters.

Shift sf's 'strict' method check from the Strict behavior because
it violates forward proxy logic, adding a new RegisteredMethods
flag, as it will certainly be useful to some.

Add an option to enforce stricter HTTP conformance

This is a first stab, the checks will likely have to be revised.
For now, we check

 * if the request line contains control characters
 * if the request uri has fragment or username/password
 * that the request method is standard or registered with RegisterHttpMethod
 * that the request protocol is of the form HTTP/[1-9]+.[0-9]+,
   or missing for 0.9
 * if there is garbage in the request line after the protocol
 * if any request header contains control characters
 * if any request header has an empty name
 * for the host name in the URL or Host header:
   - if an IPv4 dotted decimal address: Reject octal or hex values, require
     exactly four parts
   - if a DNS host name: Reject non-alphanumeric characters besides '.' and
     '-'. As a side effect, this rejects multiple Host headers.
 * if any response header contains control characters
 * if any response header has an empty name
 * that the Location response header (if present) has a valid scheme and is
   absolute

If we have a host name both from the URL and the Host header, we replace the
Host header with the value from the URL to enforce RFC conformance.

There is a log-only mode, but the loglevels of the logged messages need some
thought/work. Currently, the  checks for incoming data log for 'core' and the
checks for outgoing data log for 'http'. Maybe we need a way to configure the
loglevels separately from the core/http loglevels.

      Describe new behavior of ServerLimit

This has changed a bit after the fix for PR 53555. Better wording is welcome.

      Don't take over scoreboard slots from gracefully finishing threads

Otherwise the old and the new thread will both update the same scoreboard slot
with undefined results.



add comments

Document which directives set which variables


Make ap_find_child_by_pid() look at all slots that have ever been used.

This is preparation to allow to use more scoreboard slots in mpm event.


mpm_event: minor code simplification

- move variable initializations into declarations
- use max_workers variable


mpm_event: don't re-use scoreboard slots that are still in use

This causes inconsistent data in the scoreboard (due to async
connections) and makes it difficult to determine what is going on.
Therefore it is not a useful fix for the scoreboard-full issues (PR
53555).

The consent on the dev list is that we should allocate/use more
scoreboard entries instead.


Use all available scoreboard slots

Allow to use all slots up to ServerLimit. This makes 'scoreboard full'
errors much less likely.

And if ther is a situation where the scoreboard is full, don't make any
more processes finish gracefully due to reduced load until some old
processes have terminated. Otherwise, the situation would get worse once
the load increases again.

ap_daemon_limit is renamed to the more descriptive active_server_limit,
to make sure that all its uses are taken care of.

      When shutting down a process, free resources early

Due to lingering connections, shutting down a process may take a very
long time. Free all recycled pools early in the hope that we can already
give some memory back to the OS.


rename some variables to be more descriptive

pid -> pslot
tid -> tslot
remove unused 'sd'


Terminate keep-alive connections when dying

When shutting down a process gracefully, terminate keep-alive connections so
that we don't get any new requests which may keep the dying process alive
longer.



Exit threads early during shutdown

During graceful shutdown, if there are more running worker threads than open
connections, terminate some threads. This frees resources faster, which may be
needed for new processes.



Exit threads early during shutdown, part 2

Follow up to r1738466: During graceful shutdown, when the listener thread is
closing a connection, it needs to wake up a worker thread so that it may
terminate.
