The attached patch uses a byte array instead of a String to move the
property values from the Java layer to the C++ layer. I have a little
misgiving about using a ClientException, but I don't see a better way to
implement the error handling when specifying the UTF-8 encoding.

JavaHL: Use a byte array instead of a String to pass property values

[ in subversion/bindings/javahl ]
* native/org_tigris_subversion_javahl_SVNClient.cpp
  (Java_org_tigris_subversion_javahl_SVNClient_propertySet):
  Update arguments to use a byte array.

* native/SVNClient.h,
  native/SVNClient.cpp
  (propertySet): Accept a JNIByteArray in place of a const char * for
  the property value.

* src/org/tigris/subversion/javahl/SVNClient.java
  (propertySet): Use a native implementation for the byte array version.
  (propertySet): Implement the String version as a wrapper around the
  byte array version. Convert the String to bytes by using the UTF-8
  encoding. Catch a potential encoding exception, and re-throw it as a
  ClientException.
