Further tweak_name() improvements: restructure to reduce indentation; simplify
error handling; use a regexp to check the name syntax; check CLI errors after
the getopt() loop.

Added the -n option for specifying a name for varnishd. All files are now stored under /tmp/<name> where
<name> is either a specified name or the hostname. All the varnish tools have also been updated to let the user
specify the name of the varnish instance to use. The name must conform to the hostname standard, but a test
for this is not yet implemented.

Miscellaneous improvements to regression test framework, most notably
changes regarding how events are processed. We now state what events
we are waiting for when calling run_loop. The central event dispatcher
monitors this list and decides when to pause the loop. Return value
from run_loop is the event name and whatever arguments were sent by
the event creator, if the event triggered no explicit handler, or
otherwise, the return value(s) from the event handler. If subsequent
events occur between a loop-pausing event and the time the loop
actually pauses, such events are queued and eligible candidates for
return value of the next call to run_loop. This way, events will not
be lost accidentally, which might happen in previous revisions.

Remove the "magic" StartChild, StopChild and LoadVCL test cases. Instead,
Case.pm now has init() and fini() (which can of course be overloaded by
individual test classes) which start / stop the child, and load a VCL
script if the particular test class being run provides one. In addition,
fini() will revert to the initial VCL script ("boot") if a custom script
was loaded by init().

Take a shot at light-weight "Vary:" processing.
When we cache an object with a "Vary:" header, we generate
a "vary matching string" which can be used to efficiently
check for compliance when doing a cache lookup.
Only very lightly tested (ie: cnn.com).

Move parts of tcp.c out into libvarnish. Rename the API from "TCP" to "VSS"
(Varnish Stream Sockets) as I intend to eventually add support for AF_UNIX
sockets.
This also moves the accept filter code out from VSS_listen() (previously
TCP_open()) and into a separate function in tcp.c

Keep a master copy of the parameter block, to which all changes are applied,
and which is copied to the shared parameter block every time a parameter
changes as well as immediately before forking off a child. This prevents a
hypothetical compromised child from changing the parent's idea of run-time
parameters (which would, for example, allow it to trick the the parent into
starting a new, hypothetically exploitable child with the attacker's choice
of uid / gid).
While I'm here, correct the use of the "volatile" qualifier - it is the
parmeter block itself which can change unpredictably, not the pointer.

Add two run-time parameters, "user" and "group", which specify an unprivileged
user and group to which the child process will switch immediately after fork()
returns, before it starts accepting connections. The default values are
"nobody" and "nogroup" (they should probably be tweakable at compile time...)
Note that this does not provide full privilege separation, as there are still
channels between the parent and child processes which need to be monitored,
but it is an improvement on the previous situation.

varnishncsa is now able to produce backend logs. A couple of problems still remain: missing hostname and timestamp for backend communication. This could be solved with some extra tags serving the same purpose as ReqStart and ReqEnd does for client communication, providing this information.

Add an API for synthetic objects, and use it to implement negative
caching of backend issues.
Brief summary:
- moved http_msg array from cache_response.c to cache_http.c,
introduced http_StatusMessage() lookup function
- introduced http_Put{Protocol,Status,Response} to complement
http_PrintfHeader().
- introduced SYN_ErrorPage() in a new file, cache_synthetic.c.
SYN_ErrorPage() populates the session's current object with the
specified error code and a corresponding HTML error page; it is the
caller's responsibility to ensure that the session has a suitable
object (i.e. one that doesn't already have headers or a body)
- rewrote RES_Error() to simply call SYN_ErrorPage() (with ttl = 0) and
RES_WriteObj().
- rewrote cnt_fetch() to use SYN_ErrorPage() to create a 503 page with
a TTL of 30 seconds when Fetch() fails.
- removed the call to RES_Error() in cache_backend.c; the error
trickles back up to cnt_fetch() anyway.
Comments from review:
- Memory allocation and pointer gymnastics for the header and body
are duplicated all over the place (in new and pre-existing code)
and should be centralized and hidden behind a suitable API.
- The http_*() API needs refactoring, we shouldn't need four
different functions to manipulate four different entries in the
same array.

Our default.vcl has a minor change: It uses localhost:80 (thus not
default anymore, but whatever, it will work with apache httpd out of
the box, and that's better for easy testing) as the backend. sysconfig
file changed to reflect this.
