[CMake] Resolution of dependencies for Subversion

[Philip Lowman]

You could look to FindImageMagick for inspiration.  It started as a way to
find the ImageMagick binary utilities like "convert" and "mogrify" but
support was added to detect the ImageMagick libraries via specifying
additional COMPONENTS.

Not sure if this approach is completely correct for Subversion because it
also seems to depend on APR.  APR should probably be it's own find module
that the Subversion one calls.  E.g.

find_package(Subversion COMPONENTS devel)
    (FindSubversion calls find_package(APR) and returns SUBVERSION_LIBRARIES
which includes libsvn, libapr, etc. to the user)
