BUG/MINOR: peers: Use after free of "peers" section.
When a "peers" section has not any local peer, it is removed of the list
of "peers" sections by check_config_validity(). But a stick-table which
refers to a "peers" section stores a pointer to this peers section.
These pointer must be reset to NULL value for each stick-table refering to
such a "peers" section to prevent stktable_init() to start the peers frontend
attached to the peers section dereferencing the invalid pointer.
Furthemore this patch stops the peers frontend as this is done for other
configurations invalidated by check_config_validity().
Thank you to Olivier D for having reported this issue with such a
simple configuration file which made haproxy crash when started with
-c option for configuration file validation.
