Regression in dirent_walker with malformed DAV responses

From: James McCoy <jamessan_at_debian.org>

As described in [0], SVN::Ra::get_dir errors out with

  Incorrect parameters given: Could not convert '%ld' into a number at /path/to/scriptname line X

with certain servers.

This can also be demonstrated with a simple ls command -- svn ls
http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/COPYING. The problem is that
the server is responding to a PROPFIND request on the file with a
malformed getcontentlength node:

This "worked" prior to 1.7 because apr_atoi64 was less stringent about
conversion errors. r993183 introduced svn_cstring_strtoi64 which now
fails converting '%ld' to a number instead of treating it as 0.

This was noticed because it breaks git-svn[1], although there is a
proposed[2] workaround. While this is definitely a bug in whatever's
sending the bad property value, it would be nice to gracefully handle
this as was happening pre-1.7 (albeit intentional this time rather than
accidental), but at the very least better error reporting would be
useful here.
