dump, commit: Test for both non-empty and empty transaction extensions
Currently we exercise zodbdump and zodbcommit+zodbdump with non-empty extensions, which works if ZODB is patched for txn.extension_bytes support, but fails on pristine ZODB. Support for txn.extension_bytes cannot get into upstream ZODB for more than a year: https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/pull/183 https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/pull/207 and even if it somehow will make it, it will likely be only in ZODB5, while we still care to support ZODB4 and ZODB3. Skipping zodbdump / zodbcommit tests, if a ZODB does not have txn.extension_bytes support, would result in significant reduction of zodbtools test coverage, because practically that is the current situation with all upstream ZODB{3,4,5}. Dropping test coverage for non-empty extensions is neither a good option. For those reason, let's rework the tests and test both zodbdump and zodbcommit with two scenarios: 1. on a test database where transactions extensions are always empty. This should work on all ZODB irregardless of whether txn.extension_bytes patch is there or not. 2. on a test database where transactions extensions are present. This should work if ZODB has txn.extension_bytes support, but if not, we can mark this case as xfail, since the failure is expected. This way we make the testsuite pass irregardless of whether txn.extension_bytes support is there, and we don't abandon dump/commit testing coverage.
