`svn`, `svnsync` etc. should probably print the error message
retrieved from apr_dso_error(), but they must try to continue to work
when dynamic loading of a library failed. For example, when dynamic
loading of libsvn_ra_neon-1.so.0 fails during accessing a repository
through http:// protocol, libsvn_ra_serf-1.so.0 might be available, so
libsvn_ra-1.so.0 should try to dynamically load libsvn_ra_serf-1.so.0.
svn_dso_load() is called only by Subversion libraries (libsvn_subr,
libsvn_fs, libsvn_subr), not by `svn` and other programs, so I'm not
sure how to implement sending of error message from a library function
(which calls svn_dso_load()) to a program without returning error from
this function.
