Adds a server-specific parameter, "use_proxy_protocol". If enabled,
a header string is sent to the backend when a routing session connection
changes state to MXS_AUTH_STATE_CONNECTED. The string contains the real
client IP and port.
A module can now declare a path parameter for a directory that does not
yet exist. If the directory does not exist, MaxScale will create the
directory with the requested permissions.
This number (defaults to 1) sets how many times mon_connect_to_db
will try to connect to a backend before returning an error. Every
connection attempt may take backend_connect_timeout seconds to
complete.
Also refactored code a bit. Renamed mon_connect_to_db to
mon_ping_or_connect_to_db, since it does not connect if the connection
is already alive.
