Similar to 70e65bf8dfd7, the change is made to ensure that the ability to
cancel resolver tasks is fully controlled by the caller.  As mentioned in the
referenced commit, it is safe to make this timer cancelable because resolve
tasks can have their own timeouts that are not cancelable.

The scenario where this may become a problem is a periodic background resolve
task (not tied to a specific request or a client connection), which receives a
response with short TTL, large enough to warrant fallback to a TCP query.
With each event loop wakeup, we either have a previously set write timer
instance or schedule a new one.  The non-cancelable write timer can delay or
block graceful shutdown of a worker even if the ngx_resolver_ctx_t-&gt;cancelable
flag is set by the API user, and there are no other tasks or connections.

We use the resolver API in this way to maintain the list of upstream server
addresses specified with the 'resolve' parameter, and there could be third-party
modules implementing similar logic.

FastCGI responder is expected to receive CGI/1.1 environment variables
in the parameters (see section "6.2 Responder" of the FastCGI specification).
Obviously enough, there cannot be multiple environment variables with
the same name.

Further, CGI specification (RFC 3875, section "4.1.18. Protocol-Specific
Meta-Variables") explicitly requires to combine headers: "If multiple
header fields with the same field-name are received then the server MUST
rewrite them as a single value having the same semantics".

<title>HTTP/2: made it possible to flush response headers (ticket #1743).</title>

Response headers can be buffered in the SSL buffer.  But stream's fake
connection buffered flag did not reflect this, so any attempts to flush
the buffer without sending additional data were stopped by the write filter.

It does not seem to be possible to reflect this in fc-&gt;buffered though, as
we never known if main connection's c-&gt;buffered corresponds to the particular
stream or not.  As such, fc-&gt;buffered might prevent request finalization
due to sending data on some other stream.

Fix is to implement handling of flush buffers when the c-&gt;need_flush_buf
flag is set, similarly to the existing last buffer handling.  The same
flag is now used for UDP sockets in the stream module instead of explicit
checking of c-&gt;type.

<title>Simplified sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) usage.</title>

<id>20c35434ef8d185cc70e8d68ef4730ce08f8b7d6</id>
<content type='text'>
Starting with FreeBSD 11, there is no need to use AIO operations to preload
data into cache for sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) to work.  Instead, sendfile()
handles non-blocking loading data from disk by itself.  It still can, however,
return EBUSY if a page is already being loaded (for example, by a different
process).  If this happens, we now post an event for the next event loop
iteration, so sendfile() is retried "after a short period", as manpage
recommends.

The limit of the number of EBUSY tolerated without any progress is preserved,
but now it does not result in an alert, since on an idle system event loop
iteration might be very short and EBUSY can happen many times in a row.
Instead, SF_NODISKIO is simply disabled for one call once the limit is
reached.

With this change, sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) is now used automatically as long as
sendfile() is enabled, and no longer requires "aio on;".

Notably, NAXSI is known to misuse ngx_regex_compile() with rc.options set
to PCRE_CASELESS | PCRE_MULTILINE.  With PCRE2 support, and notably binary
compatibility changes, it is no longer possible to set PCRE[2]_MULTILINE

this change adds the NGX_REGEX_MULTILINE option.
