(IAC-1186) Add new $use_servername_for_filenames parameter

Prior to this commit, the `$filename` variable, which is used to
construct the filename of Apache's various config and log files,
obtained it's default value from the `$name` parameter.

As #2064 highlights, it is possible for `$name` to contain spaces
in it and this can cause cumbersome log file names, albeit POSIX
compliant.

Also related is #2068, which changes the `$filename` variable source
from `$name` to `$servername`. This arguably seems more appropriate,
especially given that `$servername` defaults to `$name` if undefined.

This commit attempts to create a satisfactory solution to both #2064
and #2068 by introducing the `$use_servername_for_filenames` param.
When set to `true`, a sanitized `$servername` parameter value will be
used to construct `$filename`.

When undefined or set to `$false`, it will retain the existing
behaviour and use the `$name` parameter value.

This will default to `false` until the next major release (v6.0.0),
after which it will default to `true`. Then, in the subsequent major
release (v7.0.0) it will be deprecated altogether and the default
behaviour will be to use the sanitized value of `$servername` for the
`$filename` var.

Warning messages are output to the console to alert users of this
change in behaviour.
