compile order-dependency problem

If you do a `make' from the top level of the tree, things build in
this order:

  tests-common
  libsvn_string
  libsvn_subr
  ...

tests-common and libsvn_string has always been "standalone", and
libsvn_subr has always depended on libsvn_string.

But now that svn_tests_main.c is using svn_pool_create() inside
libsvn_subr, we have an unbuildable tree:

  * svn_tests_main.o is produced standalone, as it should be.
  * libsvn_string is built.
  * libsvn_string/tests/ fail to build, because they link into
    svn_test_main.o, which depends on libsvn_subr, which hasn't been
    built yet.

Of course, this will all go away if we simply merge libsvn_string (and
its tests/ subdir) into libsvn_subr. I know that this has been
proposed already. Any objections? If not, I'll do it right now.
