forbid atomic transactions on writable, upgradable databases
We can't (but currently do) allow upgrades within transactions because
upgrades need their own transactions. We don't want to re-use the
current transaction because bailing out of an upgrade would mean loosing
all previous changes (because our "atomic" transactions don't commit
before hand). This gives us two options:
1. Fail at the beginning of upgrade (tell the user to end the
transaction, upgrade, and start over).
2. Don't allow the user to start the transaction.
I went with the latter because:
1. There is no reason to call `begin_atomic` unless you intend to to
write to the database and anyone intending to write to the database
should upgrade it first.
2. This means that nothing inside an atomic transaction can ever fail
with NOTMUCH_STATUS_UPGRADE_REQUIRED.
