[PATCH] ensure mod_proxy present when mod_dav_svn configured for mirroring

[[[
In mod_dav_svn, when processing an SVNMasterURI directive,
check that mod_proxy is available in the httpd runtime.
Forwarding writes to a master from a slave requires
the mod_proxy handler, and when it isn't present, the
failure is ugly & opaque. Apache's core, default handler
sends back a "405 Not Allowed," for non-GET which looks
like an authz failure.

BTW, there's precedent for using ap_find_linked_module()
to check that module dependencies are present. Namely,
mod_rewrite looks for mod_proxy, and mod_authnz_ldap looks
for util_ldap.

* subversion/mod_dav_svn/mod_dav_svn.c
  (SVNMasterURI_cmd): use ap_find_linked_module() to
   ensure that mod_proxy is available
