apache2 remains the default

email sending should work regardless of the MTA used...

this is done partly in part of this complaint: #1800066

we were going through a lot of trouble to just display the platform alias, we don't care about the alias, just the location, which we still display

this fixes a regression introduced in the fix for #1678876

Issue #1513678 by Jon Pugh, fastangel, Steven Jones: Fixed Hooks based on TASK_NAME should handle task names with dashes in them.

Issue #1741814 by wamilton: Fixed Support For Non-Alphanumeric MySQL Passwords in provision-backup, migrate, and clone.

Issue #1334950 by marafa: Fixed permissions on /var/aegir/config/server_NAME/SERVICE prevents access.

Issue #1471928 by Steven Jones: Fixed provision-save: Unknown options: --context_type(), --platform, --server, --db_server(), --profile, --client_name(), --aliases.

Issue #1750974 by Steven Jones: Fixed Unable to pass working-copy or backend-only to hostmaster install.

Issue #1260066 by Steven Jones: Added Allow use of the working copy option when creating a platform.

Issue #1612252 by mig5, Steven Jones: Fixed 'site_offline()' variable needs to be 'maintenance_mode()' in Drupal 7.

Issue #1440646 by tstoeckler, cafuego, mig5: Make Drush be runnable as Root with Provision installed.

this is a tentative fix for #1735174. the rationale is that the
platforms directory is necessary only when we verify platforms, not
the server. the platforms directory may not be managed by aegir, for
example in slaves in pack mode

This reverts commit c3263284.

according to RSA security and most sites I could read, 1024 was
recommended until 2010-2015 and 2048 is now the recommended length for
more sensitive data. we are therefore taking the safest route.

this is to fix #1678876, as we can now access the site URI without
fooling around SERVER_NAME vs HTTP_HOST

this is to make sure automatic builds are more recent than the factory default
