No, that's wrong, as with just one flag it wouldn't be possible to
correctly disable caching of responses with:

Cache-Control: private
Cache-Control: max-age=10

So it needs at least two flags. Updated patch below, review and
testing appreciated.

Upstream: fixed X-Accel-Expires/Cache-Control/Expires handling.

Previously, if caching was disabled due to Expires in the past, nginx
failed to cache the response even if it was cacheable as per subsequently
parsed Cache-Control header (ticket #964).

Similarly, if caching was disabled due to Expires in the past,
"Cache-Control: no-cache" or "Cache-Control: max-age=0", caching was not
used if it was cacheable as per subsequently parsed X-Accel-Expires header.

Fix is to avoid disabling caching immediately after parsing Expires in
the past or Cache-Control, but rather set flags which are later checked by
ngx_http_upstream_process_headers() (and cleared by "Cache-Control: max-age"
and X-Accel-Expires).

Additionally, now X-Accel-Expires does not prevent parsing of cache control
extensions, notably stale-while-revalidate and stale-if-error. This
ensures that order of the X-Accel-Expires and Cache-Control headers is not
important.
