It is sometimes required to know some informations such as the
process uptime when consulting statistics. This patch adds the
"show info" command to query those informations on the UNIX
socket.
Removed old unused MODE_LOG and MODE_STATS, and replaced the "stats"
keyword in the global section. The new "stats" keyword in the global
section is used to create a UNIX socket on which the statistics will
be accessed. The client must issue a "show stat\n" command in order
to get a CSV-formated output similar to the output on the HTTP socket
in CSV mode.
A unix socket can now access the statistics. It currently only
recognizes the "show stat\n" command at the beginning of the
input, then returns the statistics in CSV format.
It is now possible to get CSV ouput from the statistics by
simply appending ";csv" to the HTTP request sent to get the
stats. The fields keep the same ordering as in the HTML page,
and a field "pxname" has been prepended at the beginning of
the line.
