Performance branch ready for review

Hi @all,

I just finished my porting work; the performance branch
is now fully synchronized with my prototype code.
 From my point of view, review can start now.

According to my measurements, the code is now faster
than the original prototype. Large caches provided, a
single multi-threaded svnserve instance on a modern
quad-core machine should be able to saturate a 10Gb
server connection.

Open issues / things still to do

* there is an issue with "log" triggering an assertion()
  -> I will investigate that next
* test mod_web_dav and add FSFS cache configuration
  parameters to it
* tune membuffer cache eviction strategy such that even
  small caches can have a large impact
* add tests for the new APIs
* provide APR patches.

There are many things I would like to do but they may
better be deferred to 1.8.
