Memory leak in processing MCMP, wrong apr pool used for allocation

Key: MODCLUSTER-522
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-522
Project: mod_cluster
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Native (httpd modules)
Affects Versions: 1.3.1.Final, 2.0.0.Alpha1
Environment: Solaris 10 x86_64, RHEL 6, Fedora 24, httpd 2.4.6, httpd 2.4.20
Reporter: Michal Karm Babacek

There seems to be a wrong apr pool used for processing certain MCMP commands. We should
use short life span pools for immediate processing and server-lifetime pools only for
really persistent configuration. In the current state, with 20+ tomcat workers (1 alias
and 1 context each) and virtually no client requests, we could see slow, but steady growth
of heap allocated memory.
TODO: Investigate the offending logic, make sure we ain't using long-lived pools for
immediate processing.
