New svn_auth_cleanup_walk() API.

Bert,

I have some questions about the new svn_auth_cleanup_walk() API you
introduced in trunk.

First, I see that the function drives a new cleanup callback function. That
functions has parameters named 'cred_kind' and 'provider'. Now, my
understanding is that 'cred_kind' is one of the credential type string
identifies we use through the svn_auth code -- "svn.simple", "svn.username",
etc. 'provider', I think, is going to name one of our third-party storage
providers -- "gnome_keyring", "keychain", "windows", etc.

When I read the implementation of this function -- and specifically the
svn_auth__simple_cleanup_walk() function that really does all the work -- I
see this cleanup callback called with a cred_kind argument but with the
provider always as SVN_AUTH_CRED_SIMPLE -- which is a cred_kind value!

Another question: it appears that we disallow cleanup of creds when
'no-auth-cache' is set. I should think that's one of the key times when a
user would *want* to clean out existing cached authn creds. But maybe I'm
missing something here.
