Add support of apache2.4 commands in htaccess

[s3rj1k]

Currently .htaccess template uses apache2.2 syntax

for example:

order allow,deny
deny from all

this needs to be updates for apache2.4 syntax

one could use conditional case for apache2 version like this

<IfVersion < 2.4> 
#... for 2.2
</IfVersion>
<IfVersion >= 2.4>
#... for 2.4
</IfVersion>

Are there any plans to backport this to 2.1.x? The system requirements for Magento 2.1.x, http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/install-gde/system-requirements-tech.html, say Apache 2.4 is supported, but without this fix, it won't work with 2.4. Seems like either this should be backported to 2.1.x or the documentation should be updated to say Magento 2.1.x only supports Apache 2.2.

You can install mod_access_compat to use magento 2.1 with apache 2.4. Most installations come with it enabled.
