get_pickle_metadata(): This did crazy stuff if the ZODB pickle

started with a pickle GLOBAL opcode.  Curiously, it handled the
case of starting with a MARK GLOBAL opcode *sequence* fine.

+fsdump.py's get_pickle_metadata() function (which is used by several
+tools) was confused about what to do when the ZODB pickle started with
+a pickle GLOBAL opcode.  It actually loaded the class then, which it
+intends never to do, leading to stray messages on stdout when the class
+wasn't available, and leading to a strange return value even when it was
+available (the repr of the type object was returned as "the module name",
+and an empty string was returned as "the class name").  This has been
+repaired.
