So I've added a 'flags' parameter to svn_fs_begin_txn2().

But guess what? This new variable needs to be attached to the
transaction. Remember that fs users can constantly open/close the
transaction (like mod_dav_svn, for example). But that means changing
the definition of a txn_t... which means a db schema change. Ick!

cmpilato and I were thinking that perhaps svn_fs_begin_txn2() can save
the 'flags' value as a temporary svn: revprop. and then
svn_fs_commit_txn() can quietly remove it.
