Returning revprops through commit info

From: Hyrum K. Wright <hyrum_wright_at_mail.utexas.edu>

Recently, we've updated the various client APIs which do commits to
return commit info back through a callback[1], since they may be
extended to perform multiple commits (see issue #1199 for instance).
In doing so, I've had the opportunity to take a look at the
svn_commit_info_t struct. It's pretty simplistic, but includes fields
for the author and date.

In 1.6 (I believe) we changed the various log and commit APIs to use a
hash of arbitrary revision properties, rather than a hard coded list.
I wonder if it's worth it to do so in the commit_info struct. We'd
still keep the existing fields for compat, but we would also add a
hash of revision properties, for consistency with the other APIs, and
for greater future extensibility.

Thoughts?

[1] The callback was added as a member of the client context, instead
of a per-API func/baton set. This choice was somewhat arbitrary, and
conversations with Mark regarding the same in the JavaHL wrappers have
made me wonder if we should go with the explicit func/baton args,
rather than using the client ctx. Anybody have any strong feelings
about this issue?
