Since the beginning, this directive is documented to accept an optional file name. But it should also be possible to use it without any argument to use the backend name as file name. However, when no argument is provided, an error is reported during the configuration parsing requesting an argument, a file name or "use-backend-name". And This last special argument is not documented. So, to respect the documentation and to avoid configuration breakages, all modes are now supported. If this directive is called with no argument or with "use-backend-name", the backend name is use as file name for the server-state file. Otherwise, the provided string is used. In addition, we take care to release any previously allocated file name in case this directive is defines multiple times in the same backend. And an error is reported if more than one argument are defined. Finally, the documentation is updated accordingly. Sections supporting this directive are also mentioned. This patch should be backported as far as 1.6.
