Since 2.4, apache will fail to load unless mod_unixd is loaded in order
to drop privileges.

I am not sure why this wasn't there already, but I am unable to run
httpd 2.4.18 without it, on Fedora 23.

Michael (cc'd) posted an identical patch with some more discussion back
in May:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/268770

The series languished because none of the reviewers had systems that
reproduced the problem, and I think there's some additional work needed
to get all of the svn-over-http tests running[1].

I think this bit should be OK to take without the rest (though I like
the extra discussion in the original).

I can resurrect 745a5487 (t/lib-httpd: load mod_unixd, 2015-04-08),
which is still on 'pu', and apply 2/2 from Jacov on top of it.

Thanks.
