skiplist: fix the minimum height (to one).

The height of a skiplist is always at least one, for the top node,
even if our implementation may delay its creation on the first insert
or delete it on the last remove (for optimization purpose).
This also helps apr_skiplist_remove() to never return zero (not found)
when it deletes the last node.
