Re: (ITS#6243) back-monitor fails to report entry cache usage

The problem could be partially addressed by telling back-bdb (who's
maintaining this data in the monitor backend) to check subordinates as
soon as it discovers it's a glue instance.  However, this poses two
different problems:

- is the aggregate information resulting from adding all glued databases
cache usage still useful?

- what happens if heterogeneous databases are glued?  Significantly, what
if the superior database is not bdb/hdb?

Probably, the monitor database should also present subordinate databases
as separate entries.
