ap_cfg_getline

[Dean Gaudet <dg...@arctic.org>]

Why oh why does ap_cfg_getline() compress spaces?

I looked back at 1.2 and it too compresses spaces, I just didn't see it
the first time I looked. 

This is silly.  This means that even quoted strings can't contain tabs or
spaces.

That same algorithm should have the correct effect when applied to
ap_getword*, too.  Which makes it rather nice..

Right, the compression should happen in the caller though... the callers
tend to use ap_getword et al, so ap_cfg_getline could get by with just
trimming leading and trailing whitespace I think.

Okey for unquoted stuff, but definitely a bug for quoted tokens.
