Allow replication servers to handle all request methods
Previously, the replication_server setting could take one of three states: * If unspecified, the server would handle all available methods. * If "true", "yes", "on", etc. it would only handle replication methods (REPLICATE, SSYNC). * If any other value (including blank), it would only handle non-replication methods. However, because SSYNC tunnels PUTs, POSTs, and DELETEs through the same object-server app that's responding to SSYNC, setting `replication_server = true` would break the protocol. This has been the case ever since ssync was introduced. Now, get rid of that second state -- operators can still set `replication_server = false` as a principle-of-least-privilege guard to ensure proxy-servers can't make replication requests, but replication servers will be able to serve all traffic. This will allow replication servers to be used as general internal-to-the-cluster endpoints, leaving non-replication servers to handle client-driven traffic.
