Below the necessary patch w/o erratum.

[[[
Fix inconsistent handling of svn_dirent_t.size for directories.

Most code uses SVN_INVALID_FILESIZE for them, so change the docs to match
that fact and update all users to consistently follow the new docstring.

* subversion/include/svn_types.h
   (svn_dirent_t): Change documentation for SIZE.

* subversion/libsvn_ra_local/ra_plugin.c
   (svn_ra_local__get_dir): Return the new default for directories.

* subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/list.c
   (item_closed): Be sure to default to SVN_INVALID_FILESIZE.

* subversion/libsvn_repos/list.c
   (fill_dirent): Set SIZE consistently with other RA layers.
