It makes the () "non-capturing" meaning if you had other () sequences
this or-conjunction would not eat up $1.
In the case above it is unnecessary since there is no other capture.

It's a special case when following "(". It allows the
matching/capturing to be customized a few different ways (man
pcresyntax has a concise list of the flags that follow "(?")

server (vhost) id and request id i believe. Usually not so useful.
The /initial meant it's not a "subrequest" (a way apache modules
sometimes make an internal request related to the real request to
probe for things)
