[Owncloud] Update to sabredav 1.6

[Henning Becker]

Hi,
last update for PHP 5.2 branch was in january 2011. So there was no security 
update of 5.2 for more than a year.

PHP 5.3 is now more than 2.5 years old and part of nearly every linux 
distribution, including Debian stable.

I would propose to require PHP >= 5.3 for the future, though I'm not a dev. 
:-)

Greets,
Henning
