Build library on alpine inserts wrong path to httpd.conf

Inserts wrong library path to httpd.conf:

LoadModule negotiation_module modules/mod_negotiation.so
# Inserned line below
LoadModule maxminddb_module   lib/apache2/mod_maxminddb.so

Produced error:

httpd_1  | httpd: Syntax error on line 168 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load lib/apache2/mod_maxminddb.so into server: Error loading shared library /var/www/lib/apache2/mod_maxminddb.so: No such file or directory

As expected library was build to /var/www/modules/mod_maxminddb.so in /var/www/modules -> /usr/lib/apache2

I looked into this briefly and I believe this is actually a bug in the apxs that ships with Alpine. We don't do any of this path manipulation ourselves and just call apxs -i -a -n maxminddb .libs/mod_maxminddb.so, which installs the module and adds it to the configuration.

Closing as I do not believe it is a bug in the repo.
