all: Propagate errors from NamespacedKV (#6203)
As foretold by the prophecy, "once the database refactor is merged, then
shall appear a request to propagate errors from the store known
throughout the land as the NamedspacedKV, and it shall be good".

lib/db: Refactor: use a Lowlevel type underneath Instance (ref #5198) (#5212)
This adds a thin type that holds the state associated with the
leveldb.DB, leaving the huge Instance type more or less stateless. Also
moves some keying stuff into the DB package so that other packages need
not know the keying specifics.

(This does not, yet, fix the cmd/stindex program, in order to keep the
diff size down. Hence the keying constants are still exported.)

2a4fc28318 We should pass around db.Instance instead of leveldb.DB
We're going to need the db.Instance to keep some state, and for that to
work we need the same one passed around everywhere. Hence this moves the
leveldb-specific file opening stuff into the db package and exports the
dbInstance type.

76af9ba53d Implement facility based logger, debugging via REST API
This implements a new debug/trace infrastructure based on a slightly
hacked up logger. Instead of the traditional "if debug { ... }" I've
rewritten the logger to have no-op Debugln and Debugf, unless debugging
has been enabled for a given "facility". The "facility" is just a
string, typically a package name.

This will be slightly slower than before; but not that much as it's
mostly a function call that returns immediately. For the cases where it
matters (the Debugln takes a hex.Dump() of something for example, and
it's not in a very occasional "if err != nil" branch) there is an
l.ShouldDebug(facility) that is fast enough to be used like the old "if
debug".

The point of all this is that we can now toggle debugging for the
various packages on and off at runtime. There's a new method
/rest/system/debug that can be POSTed a set of facilities to enable and
disable debug for, or GET from to get a list of facilities with
descriptions and their current debug status.

Similarly a /rest/system/log?since=... can grab the latest log entries,
up to 250 of them (hardcoded constant in main.go) plus the initial few.

Not implemented in this commit (but planned) is a simple debug GUI
available on /debug that shows the current log in an easily pasteable
format and has checkboxes to enable the various debug facilities.

The debug instructions to a user then becomes "visit this URL, check
these boxes, reproduce your problem, copy and paste the log". The actual
log viewer on the hypothetical /debug URL can poll regularly for new log
entries and this bypass the 250 line limit.

The existing STTRACE=foo variable is still obeyed and just sets the
start state of the system.
