Wow. What a horrible botch (not yours).

What if a file happens to digest to all-zeros? If the filesystem code
is going to special-case this particular digest, then the special case
should be in the filesystem code, not buried deep in libsvn_subr.

I'd prefer the new function be called svn_digest_to_cstring2, and the
old function be deprecated.
