There is no need to set "i" to 0, as it's expected to be 0 assuming
the bindings are properly sorted, and we already rely on this when
explicitly set hport->naddrs to 1. Remaining conditional code is
replaced with identical "hport->naddrs = i + 1".
Identical modifications are done in the mail and stream modules,
in the ngx_mail_optimize_servers() and ngx_stream_optimize_servers()
functions, respectively.
No functional changes.
This may happen if eventfd() returns ENOSYS, notably seen on CentOS 5.4.
Such a failure will now just disable the notification mechanism and let
the callers cope with it, instead of failing to start worker processes.
If thread pools are not configured, this can safely be ignored.
Two mechanisms are implemented to make it possible to store pointers
in shared memory on Windows, in particular on Windows Vista and later
versions with ASLR:
- The ngx_shm_remap() function added to allow remapping of a shared memory
zone to the address originally used for it in the master process. While
important, it doesn't solve the problem by itself as in many cases it's
not possible to use the address because of conflicts with other
allocations.
- We now create mappings at the same address in all processes by starting
mappings at predefined addresses normally unused by newborn processes.
These two mechanisms combined allow to use shared memory on Windows
almost without problems, including reloads.
Based on the patch by Sergey Brester:

It's now enough to specify proxy_protocol option in one listen directive to
enable it in all servers listening on the same address/port. Previously,
the setting from the first directive was always used.
When client or upstream connection is closed, level-triggered read event
remained active until the end of the session leading to cpu hog. Now the flag
NGX_CLOSE_EVENT is used to unschedule the event.
If a peer was initially skipped due to max_fails, there's no reason
not to try it again if enough time has passed, and the next_upstream
logic is in action.
This also reduces diffs with NGINX Plus.
