[Impact]

Subversion's Perl bindings randomly crash.  This is most typically seen
when using git-svn, since it's a heavy user of the bindings.

[Test case]

"git svn clone -s svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/flightgear/fgaddon".  With the
existing package in xenial, git-svn kept crashing while trying to
checkout the first revision.  With the updated package, I've
successfully processed 2400 revisions before being interrupted by a
network issue.

[Regression potential]

This brings the code up to date with current released Subversion code in
this area.  The upstream release which included these changes (1.9.5)
has been in Debian since 2016-11-29 and I've received no further reports
of issues.
