property code cleanup

While reviewing Philip Martin's recent patch to svn_client_propget(),
I got a closer look at some of our recent property changes. The doc
string for svn_client_propget() left me a little lost as to the
precise form of the return-by-reference.

Eventually I was able to determine that it's using
`apr_table_entry_t'. But that's bad: it forces the property value to
be a `char *', meaning no prop values with nulls in them. We decided
long ago that property *names* didn't have to support binary strings,
but property values are Anything Goes.

Kevin Pilch-Bisson, I think this was your commit 290? Can you fix it
please? Suggest returning them in a hash, where the keys are `char *'
propnames and the values are `svn_string_t *'.

Thanks,
-K

   its children. The nodenames will be of rooted from the same place as
