history interface.

- Added a helper function, ZODB.blob.is_blob_record for testing whether
  a data record is for a blob.  This can be used when iterating over a
  storage to detect blob records so that blob data can be copied.

In the future, we may want to build this into a blob-aware
  iteration interface, so that records get blob file attributes
  automatically.

- Added the IBlobStorageRestoreable interfaces for blob storages
  that support recovery via a restoreBlob method.

- Updated ZODB.blob.BlobStorage to implement
  IBlobStorageRestoreable and to have a copyTransactionsFrom method
  that also copies blob data.

Also removed the version argument from the history method.

Python, but not in Python 2.6.)

that is cleaned up at the start of a test run.

Unfortunately, the ZODB tests leave lots of temporary files behind
which can cause failures in subsequent test runs and which tend to
litter /tmp. Eventually, I want to clean that up, but, in the mean
time, I can limit the damage to the test part directory.

unsigned long field after a signed char state field and a 3-character
reserved field.  This didn't work because there are packages in the
wild that have their own copies of cPersistence.h that didn't see the
update.

To get around this, we used the reserved space by making
estimated_size a 24-bit bit field in the space occupied by the old
3-character reserved field.  To fit in 24 bits, we made the units of
estimated_size 64-character blocks.  This allows is to handle up to a
GB.  We should never see that, but to be paranoid, we also truncate
sizes greater than 1GB.  We also set the minimum size to 64 bytes.

commit, which made this critical phase more subject to errors than
it should have been.  Also, for large databases, saves were done so
infrequently as to be useless.  The feature was removed to reduce
the chance for errors during the last phase of two-phase commit.

triggers.  Now that server triggers are shared, it makes no sense to
close them.  It's possible that the old logic in _pull_trigger got
around the potential problem intriduced when I made the server trigger
shared. I can't think of a good reason, otherwise, why tests weren't
failing.

Getting rid of close trigger simplified the code a bit. Also factored
some common close behavior, allowing me to get rid of an override.
