I think it's high time we fixed svn_fs_open_betkeley, so that it does
recovery on the fly. I've been reading the BSB docs again, and I totally
agree with Jim Blandy's suggestions.

The easy step is to add the DB_CREATE flag, becuase then it won't matter
if db_recover is run with or without '-e'. This is actually a good
thing, because we'll be able to recover from the more horrible cases
where the shared mem environments are corrupt, *and* we'll be able to
modify hot-backup.py to not copy the environment files.

The second step, actually recovering on-the-fly with the DB_RECOVER
flag, is a bit more work because the recovering process must be the only
one accessing the environment.
