Check for stale db locks when opening write-cursors
- During long-running transactions its entirely possible for some
other player to come and go leaving stale locks behind and cause
the transaction to get stuck until the cavalry comes along in the
form of somebody else opening the rpmdb, clearing the blockage.
- Presumably dbenv->failchk() is not entirely free of cost so we only
do this for writes which are way more critical and also more prone to
getting stuck.
- dbenv->failchk() could return DB_RUNRECOVER in which case we should
abort everything but we lack a mechanism to do it... just add
a reminder comment for now.
