I'm very lucky that I remembered this trunk fix when encountering the
same limitation in 2.2.x today!

In consideration of backporting:

Calling apr_hook_sort_all() earlier affects only the pre-config hook
and seems unlikely to break a fragile third-party module.

The config*m4 rename potentially affects any hook that http_core
implements, but it just moves it around within the list of static
modules, and fragile third-party code isn't often built statically.

I don't expect either part of this to be disruptive to 2.2.x but the
main.c is the only necessary part of the fix, and doing only that
results in  a little less risk of breaking fragile third-party code.

Thoughts/corrections?
