BUG/MEDIUM: backend: correctly detect the domain when use_domain_only is used
balance hdr(<name>) provides on option 'use_domain_only' to match only the
domain part in a header (designed for the Host header).
Olivier Fredj reported that the hashes were not the same for
'subdomain.domain.tld' and 'domain.tld'.
This is because the pointer was rewinded one step to far, resulting in a hash
calculated against wrong values :
- '.domai' for 'subdomain.domain.tld'
- ' domai' for 'domain.tld' (beginning with the space in the header line)
Another special case is when no dot can be found in the header : the hash will
be calculated against an empty string.
The patch addresses both cases : 'domain' will be used to compute the hash for
'subdomain.domain.tld', 'domain.tld' and 'domain' (using the whole header value
for the last case).
The fix must be backported to haproxy 1.5 and 1.4.
