Description
E.g. set_by_lua is only allowed in contexts server, server if, location, location if.
It would be very helpful if this is also possible in upstream context, e.g. for passing variables.

Research direction
Start by locating how set_by_lua directives declare and validate their allowed contexts, then trace the upstream-context handling in the module. Confirm the relevant NGINX context rules and existing directive tests before deciding what needs to change. Done means the directive is accepted in upstream context and can pass variables there.
