Support for headers and body hidden in the version for the "option httpchk"
directive was removed. However a Host header is mandatory for HTTP/1.1
requests and some servers may return an error if it is not set. For now, to
add it, an "http-check send" rule must be added. But it is not really handy
to use an extra config line for this purpose.
So now, it is possible to set the host header value, a log-format string, as
extra argument to "option httpchk" directive. It must be the fourth argument:
option httpchk GET / HTTP/1.1 www.srv.com
While this patch is not a bug fix, it is simple enough to be backported if
necessary. On 2.9 and older, lf_init_expr() does not exist and LIST_INIT() must
be used instead.
