tdb: Reimplementation of Metze's "lib/tdb: if we know pwrite and pread are thread/fork safe tdb_reopen_all() should be a noop".

This version just wraps the reopen code, so we still re-grab the lock and do
the normal sanity checks.

The reason we do this at all is to avoid global fd limits, see:

Note also that this whole reopen concept is fundamentally racy: if the parent
goes away before the child calls tdb_reopen_all, the database can be left
without an active lock and another TDB_CLEAR_IF_FIRST opener will clear it.
A fork_with_tdbs() wrapper could use a pipe to solve this, but it's hardly
elegant (what if there are other independent things which have similar needs?).
