[RFC] Inheritable Properties Branch: Ready for Review

Hi All,

A while back I started working on a branch[1] to implement inheritable
properties, ultimately in pursuit of a server dictated config
solution, as discussed here
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2012-02/0207.shtml

I've finished the generic inherited properties solution I described in
the wiki found here
http://wiki.apache.org/subversion/InheritedProperties.

Any feedback, review, questions, etc. are appreciated. If you do want
to take a look I suggest starting with the wiki.

In the meantime I am going to branch the inheritable-props branch and
try my hand at an inheritable auto-props solution (i.e. part of the
server dictated config solution[2])

[2] Prior to pursuing SDC with inherited props, we had considered a
different route, see
