HAProxy - Load balancer

Patrick Hemmer reported an interesting case where the status present in
the logs doesn't reflect what was reported to the user. During analysis
we could figure that it was in fact solely caused by the code dealing
with the set-status action. Indeed, set-status does update the status
in the HTX message itself but not in the HTTP transaction. However, at
most places where the status is needed to take a decision, it is
retrieved from the transaction, and the logs proceed like this as well,
though the "status" sample fetch function does retrieve it from the HTX
data. This particularly means that once a set-status has been used to
modify the status returned to the user, logs do not match that status,
and the response code distribution doesn't match either. However a
subsequent rule using the status as a condition will still match because
the "status" sample fetch function does also extract the status from the
HTX stream. Here's an example that fails:
frontend f
bind :8001
mode http
option httplog
log stdout daemon
http-after-response set-status 400
This will return a 400 to the client but log a 503 and increment
http_rsp_5xx.
In the end the root cause is that we need to make txn->status the only
authoritative place to get the status, and as such it must be updated
by the set-status rule. Ideally "status" should just use txn->status
but with the two synchronized this way it's not needed.
This should be backported since it addresses some consistency issues
between logs and what's observed. The set-status action appeared in
1.9 so all stable versions are eligible.
