traceback info rectified by the last, more substantive checkin...

object that has previous records.  This caused a panic on startup
because the previous record pointer did not agree with the system's
knowledge that there was, indeed, a previous record. This is a
pretty benign situation, so, I've changed the check to log a warning
of the previous record pointer is zero and there is a previous record.

a transaction could, in rare cases cause inconsistent computations.

Also added argument to incrgc to allow more aggressive GC.

The minimize machinery didn;t use the correct time units.

The incremental GC had some bugs that made it too conservative.

to fail.

Fixed memory leak caused by incomplete PER_DEL.

out of memory can force aggressive cache behavior:

  cacheGC() -- do an incremental GC

  cacheFullSweep([dt]) -- Make a pass through objects in the cache
     removing unreferenced objects and, if dt > 0, deactivating
     objects accessed more than dt seconds ago.

  cacheMinimize([dt]) -- Make multiple passes through objects in the cache
     removing unreferenced objects and, if dt > 0, deactivating
     objects accessed more than dt seconds ago. Keep making passes
     until the cache size doesn;t change.

Added a coptimizations module.  The first optimization is
to provide an implementation of persistent_id in C.  This
routine, which is called extremely often while pickling was
found to be a significant bottleneck.

Fix a bug in object deactivation.
Overridden versions of _p_deactivate were not called.
This meant that BTrees were never deactivated.

Added coments regarding the pool lock and pool management.

Fixed a bug that caused bogus error logs saying that there were
bad references for objects created in uncommitted versions.

be cute about letting transactions before the pack time be packed.
This was bent and led to database corruption when these transactions
were undone.
