[squid-dev] [PATCH] Drop deprecated MSIE Cache-Control pre-check/post-check

These two options have been a bit of annoyance for a long time.
Primarily because they are custom controls and almost all uses of them
is the garbage '0' values that even MSIE ignores completely. Validating
correctness would add processing which offsets the performance gained
from ignoring them.


It has come to my attention that the MSIE guys are now advising people
not to use them. So it seems we can take advantage and make some
performance gains on a lot of traffic, while helping to hasten their demise.

By adding these as registered CC values which are just dropped we can
both reduce outbound bandwith by ~20 bytes per message and avoid all the
slow String handling which CC_OTHER brings to the processing when these
are the only non-standard options present.
