Connection has .db and db has .stor - there is no need to keep separate
.stor on the Connection. This thinko was there from Connection beginning
(533f0c73 "go/zodb: DB - application-level handle to database (very draft)")

There was a thinko in transaction.Abort - it was spawning synchronizers
under a waitgroup, but wg.Wait() call was forgotten. This way, e.g. in
ZODB if a transaction was aborted, corresponding connection could be not
yet returned back into DB pool.

Fix it.

Test is TODO for the time when, hopefully, tracetest is generally ready.

In ZODB transaction ID is connected with time. We already have
functionality to convert tid to time (see bac6c953 "go/zodb: Tid
connection with time"), but the functionality for converting in another
way - time -> tid - was missing.

Fix it.

It is useful in situations where one need to print potentially Broken
objects properly, because %T does not print that detail and using %#v
creates too much noise.

This allows for applications to tune eviction strategy for their needs.
The interface to do so (LiveCacheControl) was defined previously in
c67ff9ea (go/zodb: Connection: Allow applications to tune live-cache
eviction policy), but so far there was no way to install cache
controller. Fix it.

Wendelin.core (wcfs) needs to check whether an object is currently
cached or not.

Following-up on 4d2c8b1d (go/zodb: Require drivers to provide
notifications for database change events) let's teach FileStorage to
support watching for database changes:

- add watcher who observes changes to data file via fsnotify.

- when we see that the file was updated - there is a tricky case to distinguish
  in-progress writes from just some garbage added at tail. See comments in
  _watcher for details.

- if the watcher sees there is indeed new transactions, the watcher
  updates index & txnh{Min,Max} and sends corresponding event to watchq.

- since index / txnh{Min,Max} can now be changed (by watcher) -> they
  are now protected by mu.

- consequently operations like LastTid, LastOid, Load, ... are all taught to
  observe index / txnh{Min,Max} state in read-snapshot way.

- add down & friends to indicate that the storage is no longer
  operational, if watcher sees there is a problem with data file.

- Open is reworked to start from loading/rebuilding index first, and then tail
  to watcher to detect whether what's after found topPos is garbage or another
  in-progress transaction. Consequently it is now possible to correctly open
  filestorage that is being currently written to and has in-progress transaction
  at tail.

The patch is a bit big, but the changes here are all tightly
interrelated.

It is already 3 places where we return zodb.OpError and it will be more.
Make a helper function to create those errors with higher signal/noise.

A ZODB database can be changed by local client as well as another
process. A notification channel is thus needed for local cache and
database view to know they have to update to current database state.

This patch builds the interface of how such notifications should be
provided by drivers. Contrary to ZODB/py it is required that every
driver provide it.

However we will be providing driver support incrementally and for now
all drivers behave as if the database is not changing.

A note on why Watchq is passed to driver as options: low-level ZODB
users, who might want to work with drivers directly, might not need it,
and this way with Watchq not present in driver options they will continue to
observe the same driver behaviour as before watchq was introduced. In
practice many low-level utilities don't need notification support, and
it would be not good to required them all to update open calls and to
provide watchq drainer not to get stuck.

TODO Watchq should be extended to also receive errors from watcher, so
that clients could be notified when there is something wrong with the
database.

OpenOptions is high-level options clients give to ZODB when they want to
open a high-level IStorage, and not all of those options apply to drivers
- for example NoCache is meaningless since cache is provided by ZODB
infrastructure, not a driver.

On the other hand we are going to introduce driver-specific options,
that either low-lever users, or ZODB infrastructure itself will use when
opening drivers.

For this reasons decouple driver-specific options from OpenOptions into
DriverOptions.

IStorage is what we give to users. IStorageDriver is what is internally
provided by drivers to common ZODB infrastructure that in turn
implements easy-to-use IStorage interface for clients.

So far those two were close to each other. However we need to decouple
them, or else every driver will have to implement the same high-level
functionality that users expect from IStorage. What we want to do is to
offload drivers from that work.

In the next patches IStorageDriver will evolve with driver
specific-bits, while IStorage will evolve with higher-level stuff
that clients will use.

We will soon need to check for Python and other modules in more tests.
Now the checking function is generic - see xtesting.NeedPy docs.

Connection options could be prepared/logged not only in DB.Open, so
instead of teaching only DB.Open how to print them, teach ConnOptions to
represent itself in human-readable form.

This syncs to nexedi/zodbtools@f7eff5fe
(*: Refer to `zodb help tidrange` about how history range should be
specified) in zodbtools/py.

Done for consistency with 313d2d78 (go/zodb/btree: Expose access to
BTree/Bucket entries as public API).

Provide functionality to query for key-range limit for all children
under a tree node.

- Refer to zodb interfaces as zodb.<name>;

Sometimes class name of an object changes, but to support loading
previously-saved objects, the old class name has to be also supported.

For example wendelin.core has ZBlk0 class, but historically used just
"ZBlk" name for it:

https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/v0.12-6-g318efce/bigfile/file_zodb.py#L377

Both class names have to be supported on loading and resolve to to
ZBlk0-typed runtime object.

The code here is testing t.zodb.MyObject class, not unknown.

Currently RegisterClass was catching double registration of a ZODB class
(a string), but not a Go type.

We want to prevent double registration of a Go type, because when saving
in-RAM state to ZODB we have to translate Go type -> ZODB class.

Fix it.

Traditionally BTrees in ZODB/py expose point query and iteration APIs.
However they don't allow a BTree to be scanned through concurrently.

For example in wendelin.core each ZBlk1 consists of a IOBTree with 512
chunks

	https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/v0.12-6-g318efce/bigfile/file_zodb.py#L267

and loading those chunks from ZODB one-by-one serially is very slow.

Expose a way to retrieve all children of a B⁺ tree node. This way
loading them all could be started in parallel thus significantly
reducing overall latency if a range or whole BTree needs to be fetched.

In the next patch we are going to expose access to BTree/Bucket entries
as public API. This will turn _BTreeItem into Entry and will also add
BucketEntry data type. Before doing that rearrange the order in which
the data structure go:

	- BTree,
	- Entry (_BTreeItem for now),
	- Bucket
	- BucketEntry (not present for now).

Only code movement - no other change.

Very brief and incomplete.

They are all either BTree or all Buckets.

See https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/blob/3.10.7-4-gb8d7a8567/src/BTrees/Development.txt#L231
for details

This is one of BTree invariants - check it on load.

2dba8607 (go/zodb/btree: New package to work with ZODB BTrees (draft))
added btree module with btree.BTree essentially being LOBTree (int64 key
-> object). Since for wendelin.core we also need IOBTree (int32 key ->
object), which is used in ZBlk1

	https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/v0.12-6-g318efce/bigfile/file_zodb.py#L267
	https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/v0.12-6-g318efce/bigfile/file_zodb.py#L374

let's turn btree module into template internally and generate code for
both LOBTree and IOBTree.

For the reference BTree/py takes similar approach with respect to
templating.

To know database state corresponding to the connection.

The format of tid assumes ~ ns precision, and it is only formatted to µs
precision by default. So don't truncate TimeStamp value when computing
it from Tid, and perform the µs-rounding only on formatting.

The float numbers are not always exactly as in python. For example the
following program

	tidv = [
	    0x0000000000000000,
	    0x0285cbac258bf266,
	    0x0285cbad27ae14e6,
	    0x037969f722a53488,
	    0x03b84285d71c57dd,
	    0x03caa84275fc1166,
	]

	for tid in tidv:
	    t = TimeStamp.TimeStamp(p64(tid))
	    print '0x%016x %s %.9f\t%.9f' % (tid, t, t.timeTime(), t.second())

prints:

	0x0000000000000000 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000000 -2208988800.000000000     0.000000000
	0x0285cbac258bf266 1979-01-03 21:00:08.800000 284245208.800000191       8.800000185
	0x0285cbad27ae14e6 1979-01-03 21:01:09.300001 284245269.300001621       9.300001496	<-- ex here
	0x037969f722a53488 2008-10-24 05:11:08.120000 1224825068.119999886      8.119999878
	0x03b84285d71c57dd 2016-07-01 09:41:50.416574 1467366110.416574001      50.416573989
	0x03caa84275fc1166 2018-10-01 16:34:27.652650 1538411667.652649879      27.652650112

the difference is due to floating point operation ordering, because
TimeStamp.timeTime() looses precision - e.g. for marked case:

	In [8]: '%.10f' % (281566860.000000000 + 9.300001496)
	Out[8]: '281566869.3000015020'

We don't try to mimic float64 behaviour to Python exactly - because it is even
different for PURE_PYTHON=y or C TimeStamp implementations. However we don't
limit due to that our timestamp precision to only 1µs.

In other words we keep on maintaining exact compatibility with Python on
printing, but timestamp values itself are now ~ ns precision.

As https://github.com/kisielk/og-rek/pull/57 maybe shows []byte was
pickling as string only unintentionally and that might change.

We are already explicitly checking for string in corresponding index
load place:

	https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/neo/blob/2dba8607/go/zodb/storage/fs1/index.go#L282

so it is better we also explicitly save the bits as string.

If we don't and https://github.com/kisielk/og-rek/pull/57 gets accepted,
tests will fail:

	--- FAIL: TestIndexSaveLoad (0.00s)

Provide minimal support for BTrees.LOBTree Get for now.

DB represents a handle to database at application level and contains pool
of connections. DB.Open opens database connection. The connection will be
automatically put back into DB pool for future reuse after corresponding
transaction is complete. DB thus provides service to maintain live objects
cache and reuse live objects from transaction to transaction.

Note that it is possible to have several DB handles to the same database.
This might be useful if application accesses distinctly different sets of
objects in different transactions and knows beforehand which set it will be
next time. Then, to avoid huge cache misses, it makes sense to keep DB
handles opened for every possible case of application access.

TODO handle invalidations.

For example Wendelin.core wcfs will need to keep some types of objects
(e.g. BigFile index) always in RAM for efficiency.

Provide corresponding interface that application could use to install
such live-cache eviction decision-making tuning.

Connection represents an application-level view of a ZODB database.
It has groups of in-RAM application-level objects associated with it.
The objects are isolated from both changes in further database
transactions and from changes to in-RAM objects in other connections.

Connection, as objects group manager, is responsible for handling
object -> object database references. For this to work it keeps

	{} oid -> obj

dict and uses it to find already loaded object when another object
persistently references particular oid. Since it related pydata handling
of persistent references is correspondingly implemented in this patch.

The dict must keep weak references on objects. The following text
explains the rationale:

	if Connection keeps strong link to obj, just
	obj.PDeactivate will not fully release obj if there are no
	references to it from other objects:

	     - deactivate will release obj state (ok)
	     - but there will be still reference from connection `oid -> obj` map to this object,
	       which means the object won't be garbage-collected.

	-> we can solve it by using "weak" pointers in the map.

	NOTE we cannot use regular map and arbitrarily manually "gc" entries
	there periodically: since for an obj we don't know whether other
	objects are referencing it, we can't just remove obj's oid from
	the map - if we do so and there are other live objects that
	reference obj, user code can still reach obj via those
	references. On the other hand, if another, not yet loaded, object
	also references obj and gets loaded, traversing reference from
	that loaded object will load second copy of obj, thus breaking 1
	object in db <-> 1 live object invariant:

	     A  →  B  →  C
	     ↓           |
	     D <--------- - - -> D2 (wrong)

	- A activate
	- D activate
	- B activate
	- D gc, A still keeps link on D
	- C activate -> it needs to get to D, but D was removed from objtab
	  -> new D2 is wrongly created

	that's why we have to depend on Go's GC to know whether there are
	still live references left or not. And that in turn means finalizers
	and thus weak references.

	some link on the subject:
	https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/PYWxjT2v6ps

We will need weak references to handle {} oid -> obj inside zodb.Connection .

In Go world they often say that weak references are not needed at all.
Please see however the next patch for detailed rationale for why weak
references (finalizers and cooperation from Go's GC in other words) are
_required_ in that case.

As promised in 354e0e51 (go/zodb: Persistent - the base type to
implement IPersistent objects) add support to persistency machinery to
set object state from python pickles serialized by ZODB/py.

Persistent references are not yet handled.

As promised add some very minimal persistent tests.

Currently we handle many ways ZODB could serialize a Python class in
PyData.ClassName. Since we'll be using this functionality in other
places soon - extract it into dedicated function.

Since will be also frequently using

	class.__module__ + "." + class.__name__

don't inline it in ClassName and instead put it into pyclassPath() right
away.

Add the base type, that types which want to implement persistency
could embed, and this way inherit persistent functionality. For example

	type MyObject struct {
		Persistent
		...
	}

	type myObjectState MyObject

	func (o *myObjectState) DropState() { ... }
	func (o *myObjectState) SetState(state *mem.Buf) error { ... }

Here state management methods (DropState and SetState) will be
automatically used by persistency machinery on activation and
deactivation.

For this to work MyObject class has to be registered to ZODB

	func init() {
		t := reflect.TypeOf
		zodb.RegisterClass("mymodule.MyObject", t(MyObject{}), t(myObjectState))
	}

and new instances of MyObject has to be created via zodb.NewPersistent:

	obj := zodb.NewPersistent(reflect.TypeOf(MyObject{}), jar).(*MyObject)

SetState corresponds to __setstate__ in Python. However in Go version it
is explicitly separated from class's public API - as it is the contract
between a class and persistency machinery, not between the class and its
user. Notice that SetState takes raw buffer as its argument. In the
following patch we'll add SetState cousing (PySetState) that will be
taking unpickled objects as the state - exactly how __setstate__
operates in Python. Classes will be able to choose whether to accept
state as raw bytes or as a python object.

The activation/deactivation is implemented via reference counting.

Tests are pending (for PySetState).
