And corresponding variable $connections_waiting was added.
Previously, waiting connections were counted as the difference between
active connections and the sum of reading and writing connections.
That made it impossible to count more than one request in one connection
as reading or writing (as is the case for SPDY).
Also, we no longer count connections in handshake state as waiting.
We don't have strong reason to inform about any errors
reported by close() call here, and there are no other things
to do with its return value.
Prodded by Coverity.
Instead of checking if there is events{} section present in configuration
in init_module handler we now do the same in init_conf handler. This
allows master process to detect incorrect configuration early and
reject it.
It is currently used from master process on abnormal worker termination to
unlock accept mutex (unlocking of accept mutex was broken in 1.0.2). It is
expected to be used in the future to unlock other mutexes as well.
Shared mutex code was rewritten to make this possible in a safe way, i.e.
with a check if lock was actually held by the exited process. We again use
pid to lock mutex, and use separate atomic variable for a count of processes
waiting in sem_wait().
