This commit is a large set of code changes and results in removal of
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of CPU instructions, a portion of which
are on hot code paths.
Most (buffer *) used by lighttpd are not NULL, especially since buffers
were inlined into numerous larger structs such as request_st and chunk.
In the small number of instances where that is not the case, a NULL
check is often performed earlier in a function where that buffer is
later used with a buffer_* func. In the handful of cases that remained,
a NULL check was added, e.g. with r->http_host and r->conf.server_tag.
- check for empty strings at config time and set value to NULL if blank
string will be ignored at runtime; at runtime, simple pointer check
for NULL can be used to check for a value that has been set and is not
blank ("")
- use buffer_is_blank() instead of buffer_string_is_empty(),
and use buffer_is_unset() instead of buffer_is_empty(),
where buffer is known not to be NULL so that NULL check can be skipped
- use buffer_clen() instead of buffer_string_length() when buffer is
known not to be NULL (to avoid NULL check at runtime)
- use buffer_truncate() instead of buffer_string_set_length() to
truncate string, and use buffer_extend() to extend
Examples where buffer known not to be NULL:
- cpv->v.b from config_plugin_values_init is not NULL if T_CONFIG_BOOL
(though we might set it to NULL if buffer_is_blank(cpv->v.b))
- address of buffer is arg (&foo)
(compiler optimizer detects this in most, but not all, cases)
- buffer is checked for NULL earlier in func
- buffer is accessed in same scope without a NULL check (e.g. b->ptr)
internal behavior change:
callers must not pass a NULL buffer to some funcs.
- buffer_init_buffer() requires non-null args
- buffer_copy_buffer() requires non-null args
- buffer_append_string_buffer() requires non-null args
- buffer_string_space() requires non-null arg
convert all log_error_write() to log_error() and pass (log_error_st *)
use con->errh in preference to srv->errh (even though currently same)
avoid passing (server *) when previously used only for logging (errh)
array_get_element_klen() is now intended for read-only access
array_get_data_unset() is used by config processing for r/w access
array_get_buf_ptr() is used for r/w access to ds->value (string buffer)
provide standard types in first.h instead of base.h
provide lighttpd types in base_decls.h instead of settings.h
reduce headers exposed by headers for core data structures
do not expose <pcre.h> or <stdlib.h> in headers
move stat_cache_entry to stat_cache.h
reduce use of "server.h" and "base.h" in headers
(prerequisite for future mod_ssi enhancements)
This commit also addresses the concern that mod_geoip would
(previously) need to be listed in modules prior to mod_ssi.

Try ssi_vars if ssi_cgi_env does not have a matching var name.
Allow var names to also include digits after the initial letter or underscore.

- a lot of code tried to handle manually adding terminating zeroes and
keeping track of the correct "used" count.
Replaced all "external" usages with simple wrapper functions:
* buffer_string_is_empty (used <= 1), buffer_is_empty (used == 0);
prefer buffer_string_is_empty
* buffer_string_set_length
* buffer_string_length
* CONST_BUF_LEN() macro
- removed "static" buffer hacks (buffers pointing to constant/stack
memory instead of malloc()ed data)
- buffer_append_strftime(): refactor buffer+strftime uses
- li_tohex(): no need for a buffer for binary-to-hex conversion:
the output data length is easy to predict
- remove "-Winline" from extra warnings: the "inline" keyword just
supresses the warning about unused but defined (static) functions;
don't care whether it actually gets inlined or not.

* remove unused structs and functions
(buffer_array, read_buffer)
* change return type from int to void for many functions,
as the return value (indicating error/success) was never checked,
and the function would only fail on programming errors and not on
invalid input; changed functions to use force_assert instead of
returning an error.
* all "len" parameters now are the real size of the memory to be read.
the length of strings is given always without the terminating 0.
* the "buffer" struct still counts the terminating 0 in ->used,
provide buffer_string_length() to get the length of a string in a
buffer.
unset config "strings" have used == 0, which is used in some places
to distinguish unset values from "" (empty string) values.
* most buffer usages should now use it as string container.
* optimise some buffer copying by "moving" data to other buffers
* use (u)intmax_t for generic int-to-string functions
* remove unused enum values: UNUSED_CHUNK, ENCODING_UNSET
* converted BUFFER_APPEND_SLASH to inline function (no macro feature
needed)
* refactor: create chunkqueue_steal: moving (partial) chunks into another
queue
* http_chunk: added separate function to terminate chunked body instead of
magic handling in http_chunk_append_mem().
http_chunk_append_* now handle empty chunks, and never terminate the
chunked body.

The proper way to declare a function taking no parameters isn't:
foo bar();
But this instead:
foo bar(void);

i hope it helps with merging stuff back to 1.5
