This allows to monitor the performance of renderd and how well it can keep up with the
render requests that are coming in or if it drops them due to overload.
For large setups of mod_tile, and renderd, it may be beneficial to have a reverse proxy infront of the main tile server.
However when using a fast updating db e.g. running off the minutly diffs, the proxy may either deliver stale content, or the
cache expiry has to be set very short, which limits the effectiveness of the proxy. Instead, this patch adds an explicit
mechanism to renderd to signal to the proxy which tiles have been rerendered and thus should be discarded from the cache.
Made renderd more configurable at runtime: socketname, num_threads and the mapnik settings plugins_dir, font_dir, and font_dir_recurse are now available through renderd.conf
There should be only one incompatible change: the [Default] section in the config is now in all lowercase "[default]" because the parser lib gives section and key names back in lowercase
