Subject: [PATCH] Don't translate "Proxy" HTTP headers into $HTTP_PROXY env
 vars (CVE-2016-5387).

ap_add_common_vars() provides a HTTP_FOO="..." environment variable for every
"Foo: ..." HTTP header received in the request. While this mechanism is useful
in general, there is potential for abuse by sending a header like

Proxy: http://malicious-machine.example.org/

that would be translated into an environment variable

HTTP_PROXY=http://malicious-machine.example.org/

for the request handler running on the server.
