Latest code updates

Update debian changelog for 0.9.9ppa1

Bump version to 0.9.9

Add autoconf, automake, libtool as build deps for debian package

Tidy and protect non reenterant crypt use

Update debian changelog for 0.9.8ppa9

New PasswordHash scheme, use for http authentication

Add an extensible scheme for password hashing methods, capable
of verifying and regenerating password hashes.
Use this to provide password verification and rehashing in
http authentication realms.
Add unit test for crypt-based methods.

Use random base64url string for http session ids.

Instead of a random hex string, use random base64url encoded
string for http session ids, giving a much greater range of
possible ids.
Implement some useful random string utils.

Use -R option in dh_installinit, may help when restarting

Remove autogenerated files, use autogen.sh to regenerate.

Remove files that are generated by autoconf and automake, including configure
and Makefile.in from each subdirectory. autogen.sh should be run (instead of
configure) before building to regenerate these files. Also update .gitignore
and debian/rules accordingly. Also fixed some lintian errors in the debian
package build.

Update debian/changelog for 0.9.8ppa7

Don't run tests for maths module if not built

Fix mismatched new[] and delete[]

New asynchronous http::Session locking in sconesite

Remove code which spins waiting to lock sessions, as this can cause the whole
server to lockup if all threads get into this state. Sessions are now only
locked when required (i.e. before processing in sconesite), and this is done
asynchronously, returning from evemt processing if the session cannot be locked
and retrying later.

Only process files with .conf extensions in conf.d directories

load_config_dir and load_module_dir will now only process files with names
ending in .conf, preventing automatically generated backup files (like those
created when upgrading via dpkg, or editing in some editors) from being
processed.

Update debian changelog for 0.9.8ppa7

Use reenterant versions of resolver functions in ip and ip6

Replace use of gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, getservbyname and getservbyport
with the equivalent reenterant versions, since these may cause problems when
calling from multiple threads.

Use reenterant versions of passwd functions in sconex/User

Replace use of getpwnam and getpwuid with reenterant versions since this may
cause problems when calling from multiple threads.
Usage of these in sconex/Process is OK since these are called in the single
threaded root proxy process.

Use reenterant version of readdir in sconex/FileDir

Use readdir_r instead of readdir since this may cause problems when calling
from multiple threads.

Update debian changelog for 0.9.8ppa6 build

Add http as a module dependency for rss

The rss module now depends on http since it uses http::Client to download
feeds. Add this dependency to the module configuration file so http is loaded
before rss.
