If we implement locks in libsvn_repos, and are a little careful about
it, we can probably just tell people to back up the locks table and
restore it, much like the rest of the repository data (hooks, etc.).

If we implement them in libsvn_fs, we probably want to think hard about
being able to dump them, even if the default is to discard them on load.

To the WC, the server losing the lock table would look just like the
lock being forcibly broken, so nothing new there.
