Log:
Don't require all listeners to be created equal ...

    httpd/httpd/trunk/include/ap_listen.h
    httpd/httpd/trunk/server/listen.c

What is the idea or use case for this change? Currently I am having
trouble figuring this out.

Think perchild.  No, that's not what I'm working on (wait-and-see),
but it's somewhat analagous with child processes.

Basically I want to spawn children that'll have different roles,
to be determined at child startup.  And they may also sit at
different nodes of a virtual network.  The children are basically
HTTPD slaves, and need to be able to re-use existing
MPM code (any MPM) but have their own dedicated listeners.
