cmogstored 1.7.0
The big feature in this release is "devNNN/usage" are served
from memory, allowing up-to-date usage information even
unwritable/unreadable filesystems.

This can also be used to reduce spinups and wear on HDDs.

"devNNN/usage" files are still updated on the FS by default for
compatibility with existing HTTP servers, but admins may wish
to disable updates to them by removing all permissions from
the "usage" files:

	chmod 0000 $MOG_DOCROOT/dev*/usage

Filesystem errors from the sendfile(2) syscalls are also
logged to syslog.  There's also a bugfix for zombies for
libkqueue-on-epoll users, but that doesn't affect native
kqueue users on *BSDs.

And the usual round of gnulib, minor doc and style updates.
