Implement a remote helper for svn in C

Enable basic fetching from subversion repositories. When processing
remote URLs starting with testsvn::, git invokes this remote-helper.
It starts svnrdump to extract revisions from the subversion repository
in the 'dump file format', and converts them to a git-fast-import stream
using the functions of vcs-svn/.

Imported refs are created in a private namespace at
refs/svn/<remote-name>/master.  The revision history is imported
linearly (no branch detection) and completely, i.e. from revision 0 to
HEAD.

The 'bidi-import' capability is used. The remote-helper expects data
from fast-import on its stdin. It buffers a batch of 'import' command
lines in a string_list before starting to process them.
