Add (badly implemented) methods to TmpStore to allow blob import to work again.  This will need to be redone, but it gets us to the point where all the tests pass.

Also provide a __repr__ to the BlobStorage proxy which lets us know that we're using a proxied storage.

Add some missed merges to Connection.py and add note about cluelessness about what to do in the face of savepoints when blobs are involved.

First crack at merging ctheune-blobsupport into a recent trunk checkout (tests have not yet been run).

now activates obj.

Re-add the zeoctl module to ZEO, and rewrite runzeo so
it can run as a main program (the scripts created by
mkzeoinstance.py expect to be able to do this).

argument from addBeforeCommitHook().

This adds .pop() methods to BTrees and Buckets.

Alas, zpkg changed since the branch was made, and it
wasn't (obviously) possible to build the branch anymore,
so much of this code didn't actually appear on the
branch.  The C code was changed to simplify and purge
non-ANSI gcc extensions, and the new test cases beefed
up a little.

in 3.8 (it didn't get released in ZODB 3.5; will be
released in ZODB 3.6).

happened in 3.6a1 (3.5a7 become 3.5 final, because 3.5a7 had
been released with Zope 3.2c1).

ZConfig-using zpkg; this will help keep the build-support stuff out of the
top-level directory of the checkout (such is the plan, at least)

This adds .setdefault() methods to BTrees and Buckets.

- note the zpkg command line that should be used
- remove Persistence from the resource map
- remove SETUP.cfg now that it is not needed

update_from_seq():  If PySequence_Check(seq) returns true,
go on to check for the existence of "iteritems" when deciding
whether the input is or is not "a sequence".  Alas,
PySequence_Check() does return true for PersistentMapping and
PersistentDict instances, so that they couldn't be used as
arguments to BTree/Bucket construction or update().

This is nasty type-sniffing, but it was before too.  There's
no way to make such stuff bulletproof, so I'm settling for
incremental improvement.

``svn move`` does an add and a delete.  This is the delete part.
The add to Zope trunk happened in rev 38103.
