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

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

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:

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).

Add to ZODB/go IPersistent - the interface that is used to represent
in-RAM application-level objects that are mirroring objects in database.

The interface is modelled after Python's IPersistent

	https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/blob/3.10.7-4-gb8d7a8567/src/persistent/interfaces.py#L22

but is not exactly equal to it. In particular we support concurrent
access to an object from multiple goroutines simultaneously.

Due to concurrency support there is no STICKY state, because STICKY is
used in CPython version to temporarily pin object in RAM briefly and is
not safe to use from multiple threads there. Correspondingly the
semantic of PActivate is a bit different from _p_activate - in Go, after
an object has been activated, it is guaranteed that it will remain
present in RAM until it is explicitly deactivated by user.

Please see details of the activation protocol in IPersistent
documentation.

ZODB/py uses interface (IDataManager) for a persistent-object's jar, but
in Go I decided, at least for now, to go without explicit interface at
that level. For this reason a concrete type - Connection - will be used,
and so its stub is also introduced in the patch, since IPersistent wants
to return the connection via PJar.

We already have the functionality, just add an overview on how to
implement drivers and use the most common ones.

There will be many text added to pkgdoc with new sections and
per-section footnotes, and this way it is better to use a dedicated
section for references instead of global footnote whose context might
become unclear.

As we are going to add another - "Application layer" to zodb package,
turn previous text overviewing IStorage & friends into "Storage layer"
section.

We are too used to have this for granted with ZODB, but this property of
object databases is not generally universally available in other databases.

- change "types, interfaces and errors" to API in the header.
- it is not only data model, but also API that is tried to be reasonable
  compatible with ZODB/py.
- an article before "the" transaction is better.

Since 0 is valid Oid that is used for root database object, zero Oid
value cannot be used as invalid oid. -> Provide explicit invalid Oid
constant.

For symmetry do similarly to Tid, even though zero Tid value is invalid Tid.

This should be in 1f92a4e2 (go/zodb: Allow to open a storage in "direct"
mode - without local cache).

Add Go counterpart of Python transaction package[1,2]. The Go version is
not complete - in particular Transaction.Commit is not yet implemented.
However even in this state it is useful to have transaction around for
read-only transaction cases.

The synchronization logic is more well-thought - in particular there is
no dance around "new transaction", because in Go, contrary to ZODB/py,
ZODB connections will be always opened under already started
transaction. See "Synchronization" section in package documentation for
details on this topic.

Previously TxnComplete was typed, but TxnPacked and TxnInprogress were
untyped constants. Make all constants have TxnStatus type.

The reason for this is that the buffer can be shared with other loaders
via cache.

There are situations when we want to work with, or emulate, only subset
of whole IStorage functionality, with one already established example
being Cache. For this reason split IStorage interface into finer-grained
ones. For now:

	- Loader
	- Prefetcher
	- Iterator
	- Committer
	- Notifier

Oid(0) represents root database object. We cannot change this.

Missed few places in 8685b742.

While at it add draft overview of data model & friends to package
documentation.
