autoindex bug

It appears that if the Configuration file includes mod_autoindex *after*
mod_dir (and thus the order in modules.c is different), the output of any
request to a directory is garbled.  I.e. the DirectoryIndex is ignored, and
the table of files has "0K" for the file size (that's zero-K) and doesn't
know what file types they are.  Since they both use the same stages in the
API, it's not obvious where the bug is being triggered...

Fixed... one of the two has to add a trailing / to r->filename.  Now both
of them do it, so you should be able to use either alone or together.  But
it doesn't make much sense to place mod_autoindex after mod_dir... 'cause
it would always generate an index if Options Index was set.

I noticed this as well, sort of.  I didn't get garbled output, autoindex
just didn't work.  Switching the order fixed things.
