Deletion revision in Ev2

Greg,
I noticed there is a check in the filesystem editor implementation to
ensure we have a valid revision during delete. Unfortunately, we
don't always have such a revision a priori, which means this check is
not always valid.

Consider the following:
$ svn cp A B
$ svn rm B/C
$ svn ci

In this case, we are legitimately deleting B/C, but the "revision this
thing is being deleted from" doesn't exist until commit finalization.
A more concrete example is in the form of op-depth test 14 where we do
a copy, and then a move within that copy. This test currently fails
on the ev2-export branch with this error:

[[[
$ ./op-depth-test 14
subversion/tests/libsvn_wc/op-depth-test.c:1849: (apr_err=200004)
subversion/libsvn_client/commit.c:1719: (apr_err=200004)
subversion/libsvn_client/commit.c:849: (apr_err=200004)
svn_tests: E200004: Commit failed (details follow):

svn_tests: E200004: Revision for deletion of '/X/B/C/F' is required
FAIL: op-depth-test 14: test_delete_of_replace
$
]]]

Simply eliminating the check in editor.c:delete_cb(), and also
changing can_modify() to allow invalid revision to act as a wildcard
(i.e., "don't bother checking, I know this should be modifiable")
makes the test pass, but I don't know that that's the generally
correct solution.

There are similar test failures in other editor receivers that make
the same check, and I think similar sorts of valid operations could
cause them.
