Use of word "force" propagated too deeply on locking implementation

When Peter added locking support to ra_svn, he used the keyword
"force" to refer to the steal_lock and break_lock flags for lock and
unlock respectively.

"Force" is a UI concept. It has no place in a network protocol. To
those who implemented locking, please change the names of those fields
to break-lock and steal-lock in the protocol description, and the
variable names used in svnserve to break_lock and steal_lock.

The word "force" should also not be used in the svn_ra layer, as that
is not specific to the command-line UI. Those parameter names should
be changed.

These name changes should not introduce any compatibility issues.
