Summary: Fix WebDAV mounts from Windows Mini-Redirector clients

The patch for WebdavServlet
The WebdavServlet does not work with native Windows clients besides the
deprecated Web Folders. The more modern, common and supported by Microsoft
client, Windows Mini-Redirector that allows mapping of WebDAV shares to local
drives cannot mount a WebDAV share served by tomcat's WebdavServlet.
You can observe this by using the following command from a windows machine:
> net use * http://hostname:8080/webdav
It should fail without the attached patch. The reason is that:
DAV: namespaced elements in a PROPFIND responses can not use a default
namespace; each element must be explicitly prefixed with a namespace prefix
defined in itself or a parent. If a default namespace is used the client will
give no errors, but will not display any resources.
This is mentioned here, albeit for a single Windows version, Windows Server
2003:

I have verified that the patch fixes WebDAV mounts for Windows XP, Vista & 7.
