Replies with 201 code contain body, and we should clearly indicate it's
empty if it's empty. Before 0.8.32 chunked was explicitly disabled for
201 replies and as a result empty body was indicated by connection close
(not perfect, but worked). Since 0.8.32 chunked is enabled, and this
causes incorrect responses from dav module when HTTP/1.1 is used: with
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked" but no chunks at all.
Fix is to actually return empty body in special response handler instead
of abusing r->header_only flag.

*) Change in internal API: the HTTP modules initialization was moved
from the init module phase to the HTTP postconfiguration phase.

*) Feature: the ngx_http_dav_module supports the incoming "Date" header
line for the PUT method.

the rest.
