The endgame here is to not use PDHs at all the adm_access baton
caching. Instead, I plan to have a simple hash with local_abspaths
indexing the batons. As long as we don't mind being overly aggressive
in clearing the cache, we won't need to parse the PDH (thus incurring
the extra stat()) to flush the cache.

Another, rather simple, strategy is to have a 'backward_compat_mode'
flag in the wcroot which is only set when entering libsvn_wc via one
of the legacy APIs. We could then easily check the flag for an early
out in flush_entries().

Either way, we won't be parsing the pdh for long in flush_entries().
