This change breaks programs which do:

  open  DBI_X;
  abort/reset/failed commit;
  open  DBI_Y; // Now gets the same number as DBI_X
  close DBI_X; // Correct until this, but now closes DBI_Y
  use   DBI_Y;
   
I prefer the old behavior. Simpler: If mdb_dbi_open() succeeded, we
had a handle to be used in this and future txns, and which could be
closed. Other txns might not (yet) see a database for the handle,
but that also happened when another process dropped the database.
