[Bug 1543624] [NEW] Please update nginx in Xenial to 1.9.11

[Thomas Ward]

Public bug reported:

NGINX 1.9.11 was released on February 9, 2016. Specifics of note are
bugfixes in HTTP/2 (which remains disabled in Ubuntu), TCP support in
the resolver functions, and the first of the dynamic modules
functionality.

------

This is the upstream changelog:

Changes with nginx 1.9.11                                        09 Feb
2016

    *) Feature: TCP support in resolver.

    *) Feature: dynamic modules.

    *) Bugfix: the $request_length variable did not include size of request
       headers when using HTTP/2.

    *) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_v2_module.

------

Coordination for the dynamic modules inclusion will be done with Debian,
as they should likely be the first to produce dynamic-module-based
packaging; once it's in Debian we may wish to consider it for inclusion
later, with the release team's approval to do so.  Such dynamic module
inclusion will very likely result in an increase in the number of built
binary packages, but this will be determined at a later time.

For updating nginx in Xenial to 1.9.11, there should be no major
packaging changes - as I would rather Debian come up with the module-
specific-packages first, so it can then be merged and included into
Xenial.

I am currently touching base with Debian to determine if we want to do a
coordinated release; if I don't hear from them, then nginx 1.9.11 will
likely get its own upload with the -0ubuntu1 version suffix.  (All
changes from the prior merges will remain in place).
