MODSEC-217: It would be very useful to have sub-phases on top of existing phases to sort directive processing order.

Ex:

I have a lot of generic phase:2 rules (CRS or other)
One of the generic phase:2 rule needs to run after all other phase:2 rules
I have to insert my custom rules in the middle of the processing to influence the last generic rule

It's annoying to insert my specific rules in the middle of the others, because mostof other directives (rewriting, etc.) will usually be defined elsewhere (maybe in macros)
If I need to specify them inside a location, it does not work

It would be very useful to specify some rules as, for instance, phase:2.9 to force them after the ones defined as phase:2, phase:2.3, etc.

This would also allow to update a rule previously defined in phase:2.5 with "phase:2.1,ctl:ruleUpdateTargetById:..."
