[MEDIUM] checks: add support for HTTP contents lookup
This patch adds the "http-check expect [r]{string,status}" statements
which enable health checks based on whether the response status or body
to an HTTP request contains a string or matches a regex.
This probably is one of the oldest patches that remained unmerged. Over
the time, several people have contributed to it, among which FinalBSD
(first and second implementations), Nick Chalk (port to 1.4), Anze
Skerlavaj (tests and fixes), Cyril Bonté (general fixes), and of course
myself for the final fixes and doc during integration.
Some people already use an old version of this patch which has several
issues, among which the inability to search for a plain string that is
not at the beginning of the data, and the inability to look for response
contents that are provided in a second and subsequent recv() calls. But
since some configs are already deployed, it was quite important to ensure
a 100% compatible behaviour on the working cases.
Thus, that patch fixes the issues while maintaining config compatibility
with already deployed versions.
