Apache Global options to be more PCI ready

Check for any mod_sec rules (anything at all just make sure it's not empty)

Recommend apache 2.2/2.4

note: mod_security is not compat with mod_ruid2 so don't warn if mod_ruid2 is active

Re: mod_security and mod_ruid2 incompatibility - we should hold off on any changes until internal case 75905 is resolved.
