#3999 [DEV]httpd complains "Either all Options must start with + or -, or no Option may." in httpd-2.4.6 on rhels7

[yangsong]

Platform: rhels7.0 ppc64

rpm:
[root@p7hv16sbbr01 etc]# rpm -qa|grep httpd
httpd-tools-2.4.6-14.el7.ppc64
httpd-2.4.6-14.el7.ppc64

problem:
The syntax check of httpd configuration file failed and httpd service cannot be started.
[root@p7hv16sbbr01 etc]# httpd -t
AH00526: Syntax error on line 11 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/xcat.conf:
Either all Options must start with + or -, or no Option may.

Reason:
The conf file syntax become more strict in new httpd release. It says:
"If you had Directory options, note that they all have to be prepended with a + or - or none of them at all. A mix of both is not allowed"

There is a xcat.conf.apach24 in xCAT source, seems this defect also exist in ubuntu:
[root@p7hv16sbbr03 xCAT]# git log ./xcat.conf.apach24

Add a new file xcat.conf.apach24

I think the 2 httpd conf file can keep the same, since the new syntax is just more strict, it can apply to the old httpd releases.

Guang Cheng could we start a new catagory Redhat7 so we can track the defects specific to Redhat7 or RHEL7.
