Remove "User", "Group" and "ScoreBoardFile" from mpmt_os2

[Rainer Jung <ra...@kippdata.de>]

I want to remove "User", "Group" and "ScoreBoardFile" from the OS2 MPM.

The directives have an empty implementation ignore_cmd() and have only 
been introduced for consistency with those MPMS which did support it.

In trunk "User" and "Group" are no longer MPM directives, they moved to 
mod_unixd, and "ScoreBoardFile" is implemented in the core though only 
functional if APR_HAS_SHARED_MEMORY.

The removal from the OS2 MPM will break existing configurations (syntax 
error) which use "User" or "Group" including the old 2.2 default 
configuration (but not the most recent trunk default configuration). 
Though this is annoying, tolerating non-functional directives which are 
supposed to be security relevant isn't nice as well.

Opinions?

Regards,

Rainer

IMHO for trunk this is fine provided that the configuration
trunk delivers for OS2 still works out of the box.
