Before this patch HAPROXY_LOCALPEER variable could be set in init_early(), in init_args() and in cfg_parse_global(). In master-worker mode, if localpeer keyword set in the global section, HAPROXY_LOCALPEER in the worker environment is set to this keyword's value, but in the master environment it still keeps the default, a localhost name. This is confusing. To fix it, let's set HAPROXY_LOCALPEER only once, when a worker or process in a standalone mode has finished to parse its configuration. And let's set this variable only for the worker process or for the process in a standalone mode, because the master doesn't need it. HAPROXY_LOCALPEER takes the value saved in localpeer global variable, which is always set by default in init_early() to the local hostname. Then, localpeer could be reset in init_args (-L option) and in cfg_parse_global() (while parsing "localpeer" keyword).
