We have create_pool because make_sub_pool is an incorrect name, it doesn't
make a sub_pool, it makes a pool.  Add to that that we have to wrap
information into the pool that wasn't included in the original
make_sub_pool.  The big reason though, is that this was a part of the
context, which used to have a pool in it, but was not the pool
structure.  When we made the contexts into pools, this function stuck
around, because Apache 2.0 was using create_pool instead of
make_sub_pool.  We should remove make_sub_pool, because it doesn't set
things properly, and just fold make_sub_pool into create_pool.
