I've added code to allocate the USN globally, and to use 'global'
transactions.  I've also expanded our ejs ldb testsuite to confirm that
the USN is globally allocated (by means of simple addition) over all
partitions.

This is my next task.  Do you have any preference for how I should
indicate to ldb from the GC port that searches should be over multiple
partitions?

It almost seems like we need 'internal-only controls' to attach to the
request.
