[Bug 238677] [NEW] bump to apr 1.3.0

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

APR 1.3.0 contains a number of fixes, such as using /dev/urandom for
entropy instead of /dev/random. I ran across this particular problem
with mod_auth_cas, but I suspect it affects much more than just that
package. For completeness, here's the bug with mod_auth_cas: http://www
.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/MAS-16 and here's the one with APR:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45170

The /dev/random usage instead of /dev/urandom is an especially large
issue with Ubuntu, as it doesn't populate /dev/random's entropy as
quickly as some other distros. Check out this post:
