Willy Tarreau 7978c5c422 MEDIUM: vars: make the ifexist variant of set-var only apply to the proc scope
When setting variables, there are currently two variants, one which will
always create the variable, and another one, "ifexist", which will only
create or update a variable if a similarly named variable in any scope
already existed before.

The goal was to limit the risk of injecting random names in the proc
scope, but it was achieved by making use of the somewhat limited name
indexing model, which explains the scope-agnostic restriction.

With this change, we're moving the check downwards in the chain, at the
variable level, and only variables under the scope "proc" will be subject
to the restriction. A new set of VF_* flags was added to adjust how
variables are set, and VF_UPDATEONLY is used to mention this restriction.

In this exact state of affairs, this is not completely exact, as if a
similar name was not known in any scope, the variable will continue to
be rejected like before, but this will change soon.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
  - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
  - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
  - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
  - doc/management.txt for the management guide
  - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
  - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
