During the r1767197 thread, I noticed that vwrite_tuple() doesn't
enforce its precondition that in the optional part of a tuple, either
all values are valid or no value is; a call such as

      vwrite_tuple("(?r?r)", SVN_INVALID_REVNUM, (svn_revnum_t) 42)

would happily generate a «( 42 ) » tuple, instead of triggering an
SVN_ERR_MALFUNCTION().

This would be easy to fix, and would prevent a class of bugs.
This function seems to have a number of bugs,
for instance:

* optional sub-structs don't get a "("
* the OPT flag is global instead of per-struct

I hope at least the parser routines don't have such bugs.

(excuse brevity; can't be verbose at the moment)

As it turns out, the current implementation is correct but
forbids optional sub-tuples.  See r1795714.

r1795714 broke buildbot.  I think that's because it caused the '(' case
to advance ap, whereas before that revision it didn't.  (Thta change
wasn't mentioned in the log message, by the way.)

Oops - sorry for that!

I must have somehow thick-fingered a copy'n'pasto there ...
r1795718 should repair this.
