[PATCH] Cache ssl client certificate passphrases

Hi,

I am attaching a patch along with this email which adds support for caching ssl
client certificate passphrases in the subverison config auth area (just like
how we cache our passwords).

Already there is an option (ssl-client-cert-password) to specify the passphrase
  in the servers file (which could be deprecated with this). But yet it will be
better if we can cache this passphrase instead of specifying it in the servers
file, which will help us in extending this to use the features of wincrypt,
keyring, etc in future.

This may be related to issue #2489
(http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2489)
