ra_svn over ssh

I've added tunnel agent support to ra_svn in rev 4028. (For tarball
users, you'll have to wait until 0.17.) From the updated INSTALL
file:

      You can also run ra_svn over ssh or any similar tool. To do
      this, create a server group for the repository server in
      ~/.subversion/servers, and set the variable "svn-tunnel-agent"
      to "ssh". An example:

        [groups]
        mygroup = server.host.name

        [mygroup]
        svn-tunnel-agent = ssh

      (Right now you can't put any arguments to ssh in that variable.
      That may change.) Make sure svnserve is in your path on the
      server.

If you tunnel over a remote login agent, your commits will show with
your username; no more anonymous-only operation.

If you've been playing with svnserve in daemon mode, you'll want to
note that you now have to specify "svnserve -d" to make it run in
daemon mode. The default mode of operation is now suitable for inetd,
although I haven't tested that.
