asprintf is marked with warn_unused_result and its return value should
not be ignored, even casting to (void) will not remove this warning.
The current code ignored the result and used the value of newfmt to
make a decision. This is however not correct in that according to the
asprintf man page newfmt is undefined if asprintf returns an error.
Fix the warning and error by using the return value of asprintf

abstractions/apache2-common. Additionally, add read permissions
for /**/.htaccess and /dev/urandom to apache2-common.
The patch is based on a profile abstraction from darix. I made some
things more strict (compared to darix' profile), and OTOH added some
things that are needed on my servers.

- don't allow /.htaccess (.htaccess files in subdirectories are still allowed)
- don't allow *.htaccess files (the old /**.htaccess rule was too generous)

Change how we handle the parsing of the hat and profile keywords this allows
us to get rid of the SUB_NAME2 start condition because the the whitespace
that is allowed by these rules are now consumed by matching the keyword

The module interface calls for names with namespaces to be in the format of
:namespace:profile or :namespace://profile
but the parser was generating
namespace:profile
causing profile lookup to fail, or removal of the wrong profile as it was
done against the current namespace, instead of the specified namespace

instead of a NodeSet.
We need to store sets of Nodes, to compute the dfa but the C++ set is
not the most efficient way to do this as, it has a has a lot of overhead
just to store a single pointer.
Instead we can use an array of tightly packed pointers + a some header
information. We can do this because once the Set is finalized it will
not change, we just need to be able to reference and compare to it.
We don't use C++ Vectors as they have more overhead than a plain array
and we don't need their additional functionality.
We only replace the use of hashedNodeSets for non-accepting states as
these sets are only used in the dfa construction, and dominate the memory
usage. The accepting states still may need to be modified during
minimization and there are only a small number of entries (20-30), so
it does not make sense to convert them.
Also introduce a NodeVec cache that serves the same purpose as the NodeSet
cache that was introduced earlier.
This is not abstracted this out as nicely as might be desired but avoiding
the use of a custom iterator and directly iterating on the Node array
allows for a small performance gain, on larger sets.
This patch reduces the amount of heap memory used by dfa creation by about
4x - overhead. So for small dfas the savings is only 2-3x but on larger
dfas the savings become more and more pronounced.

non-accepting, and have the proto-state use them.
To reduce memory overhead each set gains its own "cache" that make sure
there is only a single instance of each NodeSet generated. And since
we have a cache abstraction, move relavent stats into it.
Also refactor code slightly to make caches and work_queue etc, DFA member
variables instead of passing them as parameters.
The split + caching results in a small reduction in memory use as the
cost of ProtoState + Caching is less than the redundancy that is eliminated.
However this results in a small decrease in performance.
Sorry I know this really should have been split into multiple patches
but the patch evolved and I got lazy and decided to just not bother
splitting it.
