creation of lock-empty resource MUST return 201

The following comment appears in mod_dav_svn/lock.c :

  /* mod_dav_svn supports RFC2518bis which does not actually require
     the server to create lock-null resources. Instead, we create
     zero byte files when a lock comes in on a non-existent path.
     mod_dav_svn never creates any lock-null resources, so this
     function is never called by mod_dav. */

However, RFC 2518bis (now 4918) requires that creation of a lock-empty
resource upon a LOCK request MUST return 201 (See
http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc4918.html#lock-unmapped-urls )

Currently, subversion returns a 200

If someone will agree to be my buddy, I will file the issue.

Thanks,
Tim
