patch for SO_REUSEPORT

Dear all,

In Linux kernel newer than 3.9, SO_REUSEPORT is enabled. This feature allows multiple sockets listen to the same IP address:port and automatically round robins connections. We created this prototype patch to include this option in the apr_socket_opt_set().

Please refer to the attached patch file for details. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Yingqi Lu

Doesn't seem safe to try sockopt 15 on every platform, it should be explicitly rejected elsewhere even if you're trying to avoid the build-time autoconf test.

I'm also not sure how useful it is in APR if it's only implemented on one platform
