Homebrew JavaHL on MacOS 11 Big Sur

JavaHL was not working for me on Big Sur. The problem is that that Homebrew Subversion is compiled against a newer version of Sqlite than is included in MacOS and apparently the version of the library from MacOS is loaded when run via Eclipse. I was able to fix the problem by setting Homebrew SQLite to match the version from MacOS and then building Subversion from source.

brew uninstall subversion
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies sqlite
brew edit sqlite
brew install -s subversion

In the brew edit sqlite step it opens the formula in a text editor and I set the values to this:

  url "https://www.sqlite.org/2020/sqlite-autoconf-3320300.tar.gz"
  version "3.32.3"
  sha256 "a31507123c1c2e3a210afec19525fd7b5bb1e19a6a34ae5b998fbd7302568b66"

With these changes made it worked OK. Another possible solution that I could not figure out would be if we could get Eclipse to load the version of SQLite provided from Homebrew. I tried editing java.library.path and some other things but could not figure out how to resolve this.

A likely better fix is for Homebrew to use the MacOS version of sqlite. That seems to fix the problem and I submitted a PR for this: Homebrew/homebrew-core#76970

I also updated JavaHL to run on Apple Silicon in a previous PR.

My PR has been merged. As of the 1.14.1_2 package it works on Big Sur on both Intel and Apple Silicon
