docfix apache2 now supports client chunked encodin

Browse Source 
As reported in the documentation bug, the apache deployment guide's
reference to apache2 mod_wsgi not supporting client chunked encoding
has become outdated. It now supports this feature, using an optional
parameter.

Updated the paragraph in question to reflect this

patchset 2 mentions the WSGIChunkedRequest variable and adds it
to the sample configs - On by default. Feedback welcome

fixes bug 1194935

The integral web front-end offers simplicity and requires
minimal configuration. It is also the web front-end most commonly used
with Swift.
Additionlly, the integral web front-end includes support for
receiving chunked transfer encoding from a client,
presently not supported by Apache2 in the operation mode described here.
The integral web front-end has built-in support for handling client requests
with chunked transfer encoding. Apache 2 with mod_wsgi also supports this
with an optional configuration parameter - WSGIChunkedRequest.
The use of Apache2 offers new ways to extend Swift and integrate it with
existing authentication, administration and control systems.
