           Summary: Add possibility to use client IP as a value in
                    RequestHeader (and Header, too, but this is almost
                    meaningless)

mod_headers %a value format for client IP patch

Some people may want to use Apache as a reverse proxy on a frontends. Alas,
mod_rpaf is heavily bugged (.htaccess don't work), and existing small modules
like mod_realip2 do not honor X-Forwarded-For header (that is not completely
spoof proof also due to possibility of multiple values).

So I decided to add ability to use client IP as a value in mod_headers value
formats. It is a small nice enhancement that allows me to add like "X-Real-IP"
header on a backend.

The patch for 2.2.11 is attached, it is trivial enough.

Example of use:

RequestHeader set X-Real-IP %a
