Read-only configuration structures...

For now, things in Apache::Directive, Apache::Command and Apache::Module having to
do with apache's configuration tree and modules have been made mostly read-only.

After thinking about this a bit, I believe they might be changed to writable before
child-init, read-only otherwise. I am not sure why, but I could imagine a module
wanting to perform evil transformation to module/configuration at startup.

Thoughts ?

We can always enable that later if somebody asks for it.
