* fix replacing variables on imported files
* refactored replaceEnvVars to ensure it is always called
* Use byte slices for easier use

This is because of our sequential handling logic which was recently
merged; if vars is the first handler in the chain, it will be run before
the next route's matchers are executed, so there's no need to nest the
handlers anymore.
* http: path matcher: exact match by default; substring matches (#2959)
This is a breaking change.
* caddyfile: Change "matcher" directive to "@matcher" syntax (#2959)
* cmd: Assume caddyfile adapter for config files named Caddyfile
* Sub-sort handlers by path matcher length (#2959)
Caddyfile-generated subroutes have handlers, which are sorted first by
directive order (this is unchanged), but within directives we now sort
by specificity of path matcher in descending order (longest path first,
assuming that longest path is most specific).
This only applies if there is only one matcher set, and the path
matcher in that set has only one path in it. Path matchers with two or
more paths are not sorted like this; and routes with more than one
matcher set are not sorted like this either, since specificity is
difficult or impossible to infer correctly.
This is a special case, but definitely a very common one, as a lot of
routing decisions are based on paths.
* caddyfile: New 'route' directive for appearance-order handling (#2959)
* caddyfile: Make rewrite directives mutually exclusive (#2959)
This applies only to rewrites in the top-level subroute created by the
HTTP caddyfile.
Previously, all matchers in a route would be evaluated before any
handlers were executed, and a composite route of the matching routes
would be created. This made rewrites especially tricky, since the only
way to defer later matchers' evaluation was to wrap them in a subroute,
or to invoke a "rehandle" which often caused bugs.
Instead, this new sequential design evaluates each route's matchers then
its handlers in lock-step; matcher-handlers-matcher-handlers...
If the first matching route consists of a rewrite, then the second route
will be evaluated against the rewritten request, rather than the original
one, and so on.
This should do away with any need for rehandling.
I've also taken this opportunity to avoid adding new values to the
request context in the handler chain, as this creates a copy of the
Request struct, which may possibly lead to bugs like it has in the past
(see PR #1542, PR #1481, and maybe issue #2463). We now add all the
expected context values in the top-level handler at the server, then
any new values can be added to the variable table via the VarsCtxKey
context key, or just the GetVar/SetVar functions. In particular, we are
using this facility to convey dial information in the reverse proxy.
Had to be careful in one place as the middleware compilation logic has
changed, and moved a bit. We no longer compile a middleware chain per-
request; instead, we can compile it at provision-time, and defer only the
evaluation of matchers to request-time, which should slightly improve
performance. Doing this, however, we take advantage of multiple function
closures, and we also changed the use of HandlerFunc (function pointer)
to Handler (interface)... this led to a situation where, if we aren't
careful, allows one request routed a certain way to permanently change
the "next" handler for all/most other requests! We avoid this by making
a copy of the interface value (which is a lightweight pointer copy) and
using exclusively that within our wrapped handlers. This way, the
original stack frame is preserved in a "read-only" fashion. The comments
in the code describe this phenomenon.
This may very well be a breaking change for some configurations, however
I do not expect it to impact many people. I will make it clear in the
release notes that this change has occurred.

* support adapt time and runtime variables in the caddyfile

Allows specifying ca certs with by filename in
`reverse_proxy.transport`.
Example
```
reverse_proxy /api api:443 {
transport http {
tls
tls_trusted_ca_certs certs/rootCA.pem
}
}
```
Config auto-saving is on by default and can be disabled. The --environ
flag (or environ subcommand) now print more useful information from
Caddy and the runtime, including some nifty paths.
It seems silly to have to add a single, empty TLS connection policy to
a server to enable TLS when it's only listening on the HTTPS port. We
now do this for the user as part of automatic HTTPS (thus, it can be
disabled / overridden).

This commit goes a long way toward making automated documentation of
Caddy config and Caddy modules possible. It's a broad, sweeping change,
but mostly internal. It allows us to automatically generate docs for all
Caddy modules (including future third-party ones) and make them viewable
on a web page; it also doubles as godoc comments.
As such, this commit makes significant progress in migrating the docs
from our temporary wiki page toward our new website which is still under
construction.
With this change, all host modules will use ctx.LoadModule() and pass in
both the struct pointer and the field name as a string. This allows the
reflect package to read the struct tag from that field so that it can
get the necessary information like the module namespace and the inline
key.
This has the nice side-effect of unifying the code and documentation. It
also simplifies module loading, and handles several variations on field
types for raw module fields (i.e. variations on json.RawMessage, such as
arrays and maps).
I also renamed ModuleInfo.Name -> ModuleInfo.ID, to make it clear that
the ID is the "full name" which includes both the module namespace and
the name. This clarity is helpful when describing module hierarchy.
As of this change, Caddy modules are no longer an experimental design.
I think the architecture is good enough to go forward.
