Fix regression with RequestReadTimeout default setting

There is a regreswsion in the latest apache httpd that made it have no default value for the RequestReadTimeout parameter. This means that if no explicit RequestReadTimeout statement is made in httpd.conf, by default the server will return a 408 timeout after 20s even if the client is actively sending data to the server (e.g. for a large file upload). We where bitten by this bug when users reported they could no longer upload files to our websites.

I suggest adding the patch rather than wait for a new release.
