[PATCH] Server: header and tokens

This is my 1st draft of the whole Server: header line debate. Basically
it changes the AddVersionPlatform directive to ServerTokens which can
be either 'Orig' 'OS' or 'Full' where:

   Orig:	Apache/1.3.0
   OS:		Apache/1.3.0 (UNIX)
   Full:	Apache/1.3.0 (UNIX) PHP/3.0

(the default is Full).

It also adjusts things so that the order of the tokens is the
order they were added by the modules... Finally, it removes
SERVER_SUBVERSION.

Compiles and passes low-level testing. Comments and Feedback please :)
(Docs still need to be updated)

Yeah. That's what I thought too when I wrote...

Okay, guess we'll have to live with that unless someone invents a clever
way to "fake" the initialization. But as no configuration has been read
in, there's no infrastructure for the modules.

I'd prefer "minimal" or over "orig", too. What's so "original" about it?
I mean, after 1.3 is out, nobody will remember what the "original" was.
(Or is it supposed to be compatible with the "original" 1.2?)

Can you please add a prefix token to the constants? In C,
enumeration tags have global visibility, so they clutter the global
namespace. Like, e.g.,
> +enum server_token_type {
> +    SrvTok_ORIG,    /* eg: Apache/1.3.0 */

> +};
or some such. Feel free to use any sensible prefix.

That means that "httpd -V" won't ever print the individual modules'
version strings? Even "httpd -C 'ServerTokens full' -V" or whatever
could not force them to be printed? Not even the OS part?
Hmm... I would like it if it was possible to make the OS part and
module versions display...

The rest (and the concept) looks good to me.
