Amaury Denoyelle eafa8a32bb MINOR: list: define a watcher type
Define a new watcher type into list module. This type is similar to bref
and can be used to register an element which is currently tracking a
dynamic target. Contrary to bref, if the target is freed, every watcher
element are updated to point to a next valid entry or NULL.

This type will simplify handling of dynamic servers deletion, in
particular while stats dump are performed.

This patch is not a bug-fix. However, it is mandatory to fix a race
condition in dynamic servers. Thus, it should be backported along the
next commit up to 2.6.
