persistent objects.

while cleaning up removed blob files.

Also refactored the code slightly for clarity.

Also, stop producing legacy PersistentMapping state, while still
accepting it.

Simplified the file-storage configuration a bit.  Eliminated
duplication of defaults between the Python and ZConfig interfaces.

- Fixed vulnerabilities in the ZEO network protocol that allow:

CVE-2009-0668 Arbitrary Python code execution in ZODB ZEO storage servers
  CVE-2009-0669 Authentication bypass in ZODB ZEO storage servers

- Limit the number of object ids that can be allocated at once to
  avoid running out of memory.

- The "lawn" layout was being selected by default if the root of
  the blob directory happened to contain a hidden file or directory
  such as ".svn".  Now hidden files and directories are ignored
  when choosing the default layout.

- BlobStorage was not compatible with MVCC storages because the
  wrappers were being removed by each database connection.  There
  was also a problem with subtransactions.  Fixed.

----------

- Simplified the setup script in hopes of working with bdist_rpm.

- Fixed the setup test command.  It previously depended on private
  functions in zope.testing.testrunner that don't exist any more.

----------

- ZEO protocol 2 support was broken.  This caused very old clients to
  be unable to use new servers.

----------

- ZEO client threads were unnamed, making it hard to debug thread
  management.
