The current ephemeral properties implementation is in libsvn_repos. I
suppose we could move it into every FS implementation but I wasn't
planning that.

is-fresh-txn-root wasn't visible over RA and was mostly ignored by our
existing code. It's likely this property would be visbile over RA and
while new clients could ignored it existing clients would likely treat
it as any other revprop: display it, replicate it, etc.
