Check out the receiver and answer a new Locator on the
resulting checked out resource.  The result MAY be the same
as the receiver's Locator if the server did not create
a new resource as a consequence of the check out (i.e.
if it was checking out a vesion-controlled resource rather
than a version).

@return the <code>Locator</code> to the receiver's version.
@throws DAVException if a problem occurs with the check in request.
