Vetoed the first attempt at a 2.1-dev mod_proxy_http request body

  backport - so note this as a showstopper rather than reverting the code.

  Also note the RFC bug that the -trace.patch corrects.

+      proxy HTTP: Rework the handling of request bodies to handle

+           This patch needs to be reverted or ammended by the patch above;
+           this resulting code is more complex, yet equally faulty in it's
+           C-L/T-E elections for a number of specific cases.  No opinion
+           between the choice of reverting and re-backporting, or simply
+           patching-the-patch.

+    * TRACE must not have a request body per RFC2616; see the -trace.patch
+      below for one of two alternatives.  The other alternative; simply
+      hack mod_proxy.c to reject TRACE when a body is seen, again see that
+      -trace.patch for an illustration.
