A user privately reported (to [email protected]) that they wanted
status text reflected in their responses for an HTTP status code not
included with Rack::Utils::HTTP_STATUS_CODES.

They tried to modify Rack::Utils::HTTP_STATUS_CODES hash directly in
their app, but unicorn loads before their app and already memoized the
status codes internally in the CODES hash to reduce GC pressure, thus
their change was never reflected.

With the first change, users can change Rack::Utils::HTTP_STATUS_CODES
as many times as they want (perhaps even based on time-of-day, weather,
server load, whatever) and the changes will be reflected
instantaneously in responses.

Of course, this slows unicorn down slightly due to increased GC
pressure, but I doubt anybody would notice in Real World usage.
In case they do, patch 2/3 will recover the lost performance
if they're using Ruby 2.2+

I figure anybody who cares about micro-benchmark performance with
unicorn would be using the latest Rubies anyways...

That user is Bcc:-ed for these patches, and can follow any public
discussion at: http://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/
(including the Atom feed at http://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/atom.xml )
