Description of the change

The acl syntax has changed between apache 2.2 and apache 2.4 ( http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html ) and Trusty has 2.4

The default security conf created by the charm uses the 2.2 syntax. This mp is to switch it to use the 2.4 if 2.4 is installed.

Here's the output of the tests I ran to check that access to directories other than /var/www was still blocked and that the deny could be overridded in a hosts file:

ubuntu@gnuoy-bastion:~$ cat vhost-denied.txt
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /srv/website
</VirtualHost>

ubuntu@gnuoy-bastion:~$ cat vhost-precise-allowed.txt
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /srv/website

    <Directory /srv/website>
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

ubuntu@gnuoy-bastion:~$ cat vhost-trusty-allowed.txt
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /srv/website

    <Directory /srv/website>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

ubuntu@gnuoy-bastion:~$ juju deploy local:precise/apache2 apache2-precise
Added charm "local:precise/apache2-0" to the environment.

This change LGTM +1. I tried this charm code on my environment with the upstream apache charm and also compared the results with this proposal adding the 'Require all denied' directive does the trick on apache 24 , the HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden was replaced by a HTTP/1.1 200.
