[PATCH] Allow returning abandon from vcl_backend_error{}

[Dridi Boukelmoune]

Hi,

This is kind of like how you may duplicate bereq manipulations between
vcl_miss and vcl_pass with Varnish 3 (no there's vcl_backend_fetch).

A current workaround would be to call custom vcl subs in both
vcl_synth and vcl_backend_error. Otherwise the patch looks simple
enough :)
