All the wcprops are already in a different namespace (svn:ra:), so there
isn't a namespace move needed. All that is required is a filtering function
when we work with the properties.

However, I just realized that it is probably best to keep them separate.
Consider the following sequence of operations:

  * app asks for all properties of FOO
  * we return all props except the svn:ra: props
  * app makes a few changes
  * app writes properties back to FOO

Unless we perform even more work, we're going to lose the RA props.

So... forget that I mentioned the combination. The current scheme seems to
work all right for now.
