Remaining suggested API changes for 1.9

Hi all,

Thanks to people's participation, we almost made it through
the 1.9 API review. The current status can be found here:

https://wiki.apache.org/subversion/Svn19ApiReview

Only two entries suggest an API change and are, therefore,
potential release blockers. Because they are not complicated,
I'd like to simply go ahead and change them as follows:

* svn_wc__conflict_description2_dup
  Simply move this private API to svn_wc_private.h.
  Ideally, people would never have called it but clients
  might not have had a choice. So, we must keep it in
  the ABI but remove it from the public API.

* svn_relpath_limit
  This is a useful API and it is simple enough that support
  in future releases should not be a problem. So, keep it
  in the public API. However, it should be renamed to
  svn_relpath_first_n_components because the current
  name suggests something like e.g. a size limit.

  Bert mentioned on IRC that he does not like the long
  name to much because of formatting issues. Alternative
  suggestions are very welcome.

If there are no objections, I'll commit the respective changes
Monday afternoon Texas time.
