[allura:tickets] #8352 Convert ApacheAccessHandler.py from mod_python to mod_wsgi

[Dave Brondsema <da...@brondsema.net>]

If/when this is revisited we can try: https://github.com/phokz/mod-auth-external to run an arbitrary script like a python script. Or https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authnz_fcgi.html to auth against a fastcgi service.  Example fastcgi at https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/deploying/fastcgi/ might be helpful.

mod_wsgi is how we run the main app, mod_python is very old school and we shouldn't be using it.

Recent versions of Ubunut look like they drop support for mod_python anyway rather than supporting it on python3: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libapache2-mod-python/+bug/1735368  Although mod_python does work with python 3, it'd just have to be built manually.
