[PATCH] in-process packed-offset cache broken in 1.6.16 (on 64-bit architectures)

Hi,

while looking at strace's of Subversion operations on a repository
using packing
I noticed the following behavior:

20829 open(".../db/revs/2.pack/pack", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 13
20829 open(".../db/revs/2.pack/manifest", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 14
20829 open(".../db/revs/2.pack/pack", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 14
20829 open(".../db/revs/2.pack/manifest", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 15
20829 open(".../db/revs/2.pack/pack", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 12
20829 open(".../db/revs/2.pack/manifest", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 13

i.e. every open for a pack file is paired with an open for the corresponding
manifest file. I would have expected that a specific manifest file is only
read once and then its contents are cached in the packed_offset_cache field
of the fs_fs_data_t struct. I saw this on Linux on amd64, i.e. where

  sizeof(int) < sizeof(rev_num_t)

The packed_offset_cache never finds anything because of the following mismatch:
- in subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/caching.c packed_offset_cache is created
with a key length of
  sizeof(svn_revnum_t)
- in subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/fs_fs.c in function get_packed_offset the
shard number is passed
  to svn_cache__{get,set} as (the address of) an int

Patch below. The problem is still present in branches/1.6.x, while trunk has
rewritten packed_offset_cache() and shard is now an apr_int64_t (which
will work,
though still not literally consistent with the creation of the cache).

Cheers, Roderich
