[PATCH] http_geo_module: warn when using a variable as the value

[Daniel K.]

Something like this would have saved me a lot of time, hopefully it will
be of help to others as well.

But hey, I got an excuse to dive into the nginx code.

Sorry about the non-'hg export'-ness of the patch.
I guess Thunderbird will mangle the whitespace, and if you insist I may
eventually install hg and do it properly, but here goes...

Warn when using a variable as the data value in geo blocks

Since the geo module does not expand variables, warn when a variable is
used as the data value; as in the default entry of:

geo $geo {
	default		$foobar;
	192.168.2.1	'';
}
