I'm unsure if svn_fs__version returns the version of the libsvn_fs_util
library or the version of the FS module. I'd expect it to return the
version of the FS module used. It will be ascertained if we know what
svn_fs__version would return in this context.

But I'm unaware of it.

I've no clue about this.

I thought about it, but wished to do these kind of renaming activity
separately once we move all eligible functions to fs-util.c.

This check is meant to work with FSFS and BDB back ends. I'm unsure why
it would not work when it is called from generic library and why we
should change this check, in which case I'm unsure if would fit well in
BDB while it would fit for FSFS.

Finally, I understand, the svn_fs__version() *may* return the version of
libsvn_fs_util library instead of version of the FS module, in which
case, it is not eligible to be moved from fs.c.

I'd appreciate if you could clarify. Thank you.
