Changes with Apache 2.4.56

*) rotatelogs: Add -T flag to allow subsequent rotated logfiles to be truncated without the initial logfile being truncated. [Eric Covener]

*) mod_ldap: LDAPConnectionPoolTTL should accept negative values in order to allow connections of any age to be reused. Up to now, a negative value was handled as an error when parsing the configuration file. PR 66421. [nailyk bzapache nailyk.fr, Christophe Jaillet]

*) mod_proxy_ajp: Report an error if the AJP backend sends an invalid number of headers. [Ruediger Pluem]

*) mod_md:
- Enabling ED25519 support and certificate transparency information when building with libressl v3.5.0 and newer. Thanks to Giovanni Bechis.
- MDChallengeDns01 can now be configured for individual domains. Thanks to Jérôme Billiras (@bilhackmac) for the initial PR.
- Fixed a bug found by Jérôme Billiras (@bilhackmac) that caused the challenge teardown not being invoked as it should. [Stefan Eissing]

*) mod_http2: client resets of HTTP/2 streams led to unwanted 500 errors reported in access logs and error documents. The processing of the reset was correct, only unneccesary reporting was caused. [Stefan Eissing]

*) mod_proxy_uwsgi: Stricter backend HTTP response parsing/validation. [Yann Ylavic]
