Regarding svn_version.h

Earlier I made some noises about the mess in svn_version.h, about how
we eventually need a way to separate the "alpha1", "beta1", etc
qualifiers from the concept of release-build vs dev-build. (Someone
could build subversion-X.Y.Z-beta1 from a working copy, and then it
would be *both* beta1 and a dev build, and we'd want to see that in
the 'svn --version' output.)

This is just to let y'all know that probably nothing can be done about
this mess for 1.0.x, due to our compatibility requirements. There is
a possible hack that we may use for 1.1 (I'm working on it right now),
but wouldn't do for 1.0.1.

So for 1.0.1, we can just use the same tricks we did for 1.0.0. (See
r8798 and r8808 if you're curious.)

Just FYI,
