Display-If-Installed: www-servers/apache

With the 2.4 branch released by upstream almost 4 years ago, stable
Gentoo systems will soon be upgraded from apache 2.2 to apache 2.4.
When upgrading, some configuration changes will have to be made.
Upstream has a handy guide:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html

For more information on all the new features, start here:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html

After emerging Apache 2.4, you will also need to rebuild any
third-party modules:

emerge -av1 /usr/lib/apache2/modules --exclude=www-servers/apache

Remaining question: how do get the timing of the news item to line up
with the stabilization? Or do we just start by sending out the news
item, then file the stabilization bugs so that people at least have
advance notice?

Cheers,

Dirkjan
