Let's make a special start place for them:

   SVN_ERR_USERERR_START

or something, like APR does. Our command-line client errors can just
move into this space.

This category will have as much room as any other Subversion error
category, initially, but we'll keep it positioned last in the
categories, in case we ever need to reserve the next category range to
double it (etc, etc).

Before we do this, though, I'd like for Greg Stein's plane to land so
he has a chance to see this discussion :-). Just an instinct that if
there are any gotchas to be noticed here, he'll notice them.
