[PATCH 1/2] t/lib-http.sh: Restructure finding of default httpd location

On my machine with CentOS, httpd is located at /usr/sbin/httpd, and the modules are located at /usr/lib64/httpd/modules. To enable easy testing of httpd, we would like those locations to be detected automatically.

uname might not be the best way to determine the default location for httpd since different Linux distributions apparently put httpd in different places, so we test a couple different locations for httpd, and use the first one that we come across. We do the same for the modules directory.

Would any machines have httpd or the modules/ directory in several of these locations?

Also I don't really know shell scripting, so while this Works For Me, it may be completely wrong.
