Yann Ylavic f02c7a9b8a mod_dav: Allow to disable lock discovery via an DAVLockDiscovery expression.
mod_dav-fs scales badly when a few clients run PROPFIND requests to discover
directory content. Each PROPFIND involves lockdiscovery, which in turn waits
for a locked access to the file containing the lock database. Performances
quickly drop because of lock contention on this file.

Add a DAVLockDiscovery configuration directive that allows lockdiscovery to be
disabled. Its argument is an Apache expression so that flexible configuration
are possible (per-request).

When lock discovery is disabled, an empty lockdiscovery property is returned on
POPRFIND methods, just like if no lock was set on the object. That should cause
no regression, since a client cannot rely on lockdiscovery to decide when a
file should be accessed, the LOCK methood must be used.

If DAVLockDiscovery is not specified, the behavior is unchanged.
