Documented "don't do that".

mdb_dbi_close() could defer fully closing the DBI to the current write
transaction if one exists.  But that would require a mutex locked by
[I think] mdb_env_commit(write txn), mdb_dbi_open, and mdb_dbi_close.

Bogus test program.  The mdb_dbi_open() should use a named database:

> 		E(mdb_dbi_open(txn, NULL, rdonly ? 0 : MDB_CREATE, &dbi));

		E(mdb_dbi_open(txn, "db", rdonly ? 0 : MDB_CREATE, &dbi));
