There are lots of C4244 warnings (conversion from 'type1' to 'type2',
possible loss of data), so they were disabled.

The same applies to C4267 warnings (conversion from 'size_t' to 'type',
possible loss of data), most notably - conversion from ngx_str_t.len to
ngx_variable_value_t.len (which is unsigned:28).  Additionally, there
is at least one case when it is not possible to fix the warning properly
without introducing win32-specific code: recv() on win32 uses "int len",
while POSIX defines "size_t len".

The ssize_t type now properly defined for 64-bit compilation with MSVC.
Caught by warning C4305 (truncation from '__int64' to 'ssize_t'), on
"cutoff = NGX_MAX_SIZE_T_VALUE / 10" in ngx_atosz()).

Several C4334 warnings (result of 32-bit shift implicitly converted to 64 bits)
were fixed by adding explicit conversions.

Several C4214 warnings (nonstandard extension used: bit field types other
than int) in ngx_http_script.h fixed by changing bit field types from
uintptr_t to unsigned.

Most notably, warning W8012 (comparing signed and unsigned values) reported
in multiple places where an unsigned value of small type (e.g., u_short) is
promoted to an int and compared to an unsigned value.

Warning W8072 (suspicious pointer arithmetic) disabled, it is reported
when we increment base pointer in ngx_shm_alloc().

Relative redirects did not work with directory redirects and
auto redirects issued by nginx.

The current version of HTTP/1.1 standard allows relative references in
redirects (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7.1.2).

Allow this form for redirects generated by nginx by introducing the new
directive absolute_redirect.

Unlimited recursion might cause stack exhaustion in some misconfigurations.

The problem was introduced by 52bd8cc17f34.

A bug was introduced by 82efcedb310b that could lead to timing out of
responses or segmentation fault, when accept_mutex was enabled.

The output queue in HTTP/2 can contain frames from different streams.
When the queue is sent, all related write handlers need to be called.
In order to do so, the streams were added to the h2c->posted queue
after handling sent frames.  Then this queue was processed in
ngx_http_v2_write_handler().

If accept_mutex is enabled, the event's "ready" flag is set but its
handler is not called immediately.  Instead, the event is added to
the ngx_posted_events queue.  At the same time in this queue can be
events from upstream connections.  Such events can result in sending
output queue before ngx_http_v2_write_handler() is triggered.  And
at the time ngx_http_v2_write_handler() is called, the output queue
can be already empty with some streams added to h2c->posted.

But after 82efcedb310b, these streams weren't processed if all frames
have already been sent and the output queue was empty.  This might lead
to a situation when a number of streams were get stuck in h2c->posted
queue for a long time.  Eventually these streams might get closed by
the send timeout.

In the worst case this might also lead to a segmentation fault, if
already freed stream was left in the h2c->posted queue.  This could
happen if one of the streams was terminated but wasn't closed, due to
the HEADERS frame or a partially sent DATA frame left in the output
queue.  If this happened the ngx_http_v2_filter_cleanup() handler
removed the stream from the h2c->waiting or h2c->posted queue on
termination stage, before the frame has been sent, and the stream
was again added to the h2c->posted queue after the frame was sent.

In order to fix all these problems and simplify the code, write
events of fake stream connections are now added to ngx_posted_events
instead of using a custom h2c->posted queue.

By default, "map" creates cacheable variables [1].  With this
parameter it creates a non-cacheable variable.

An original idea was to deduce the cacheability of the "map"
variable by checking the cacheability of variables specified
in source and resulting values, but it turned to be too hard.
For example, a cacheable variable can be overridden with the
"set" directive or with the SSI "set" command.  Also, keeping
"map" variables cacheable by default is good for performance
reasons.  This required adding a new parameter.

[1] Before db699978a33f (1.11.0), the cacheability of the
"map" variable could vary depending on the cacheability of
variables specified in resulting values (ticket #1090).
This is believed to be a bug rather than a feature.
