Fixes bug 477182 on pybsddb.sf.net. DB objects now load the flags and

pay attention to them when opening an existing database.  This means
that d[] behaves properly even on databases previously created with DB_DUP
or DB_DUPSORT flags to allow duplicate keys.

Do not backport, this bugfix could be considered an API change.
