This is a precaution for older Berkeley DB versions.
- smooth reports an issue running with 4.7:
DB_ENV->log_set_config: DB_LOG_IN_MEMORY: method not permitted
after handle's open method
- this works just fine with 5.3
- we do not use DB_LOG_IN_MEMORY, but we use DB_LOG_AUTO_REMOVE
- libdb docs say some flags must be set before open, and some
may be set at any time, but never say some must be set after
open
- moving the call to log_set_config before open works with 5.3
Therefore, it seems best to move the call before open.
This prevents an exception from existing the loop without
calling the exit handler, if one is defined.
The daemon defines one, which stops the p2p layer, and will
only exit once the p2p layer is shut down. This would cause
a hang upon an exception, as the input thread would have
exited and the daemon would wait forever with no console
user input.
Early DB versions did not store key images for inputs if the
transaction spending them had no outputs (ie, all fee). This
is not correct, as this would allow these outputs to be double
spent. This was fixed in 533acc30ed
a few months ago, but databases having synced blocks 2021612 and
685498 with a faulty version will be missing those key images
in the spent keys database. This code checks for this, and adds
those key images if they are missing.

Berkeley DB uses 1 based indices for RECNO databases, and the
implementation of BlockchainDB for Berkeley DB assumes 1 based
indices are passed to the API, whereas the LMDB one assumes
0 based indices. This is all internally consisteny, but since
the BDB code stores 1 based indices in the database, external
users have to be aware of this, as the indices will be off by
one depending on which DB is used.
^C while in manual refresh will cancel the refresh, since that's
often an annoying thing to have to wait for. Also, a manual refresh
command will interrupt any running background refresh and take
over, rather than wait for the background refresh to be done, and
look to be hanging.

The daemon will be polled every 90 seconds for new blocks.
It is enabled by default, and can be turned on/off with
set auto-refresh 1 and set auto-refresh 0 in the wallet.
This allows them to be saved as a fixed (one byte) chunk whatever
the value. Using a varint will use two bytes as the high bit gets
set.
This is backward compatible with current usage (0-2 values).
