While the neon-cert callbacks need to live in libsvn_ra_dav, the cert
providers themselves can live *anywhere*. It doesn't matter, because
the providers are simply fetching cert credentials (either by
prompting people or by asking ~/.subversion/servers for file
locations). As long as the providers don't depend on neon or ssl
headers, they can live in libsvn_client.

main() can register the cert providers unconditionally from
libsvn_client, even if libsvn_ra_dav isn't present. They'll just
never be called. :-)
