badec36aaa Completely rewrite main transaction logic to be faster.
This is almost complete; it passes the test suite save for retracting
fulltext datoms correctly.

There's a lot to say about this approach, but I don't have time to give
too many details.  The broad outline is as follows.  We collect datoms
to add and retract in a tx_lookup table.  Depending on flags ("search
value" sv and "search value type tag" svalue_type_tag) we "complete" the
tx_lookup table by joining matching datoms.  This allows us to find
datoms that are present (and should not be added as part of the
transaction, or should be retracted as part of the transaction, or
should be replaced as part of the transaction.  We complete the
tx_lookup (in place!) in two separate INSERTs to avoid a quadratic
two-table walk (explain the queries to observe that both INSERTs walk
the lookup table once and then use the datoms indexes to complete the
matching values).

We could simplify the code by using multiple lookup tables, both for the
two cases of search parameters (eav vs. ea) and for the incomplete and
completed rows.  Right now we differentiate the former with NULL checks,
and the latter by incrementing the added0 column.  It performs well
enough, so I haven't tried to understand the performance of separating
these things.

After the tx_lookup table is completed, we build the transaction from
it; and update the datoms materialized view table as well.  Observe the
careful handling of the "search value" sv parameters to handle replacing
:db.cardinality/one datoms.

Finally, we read the processed transaction back to produce to the API.
This is strictly to match the Datomic API; we might make allow to skip
this, since many consumers will not want to stream this over the wire.

Rough timings show the transactor processing a single >50k datom
transaction in about 3.5s, of which less than 0.5s is spent in the
expensive joins.  Further, repeating the processing of the same
transaction is only about 3.5s again!  That's the worst possible for the
joins, since every single inserted datom will already be present in the
database, making the most expensive join match every row.

3dfdea99e7 Implement parts: Make the DB allocate and persist entity IDs.
This implementation is inefficient because each allocated temporary ID
touches the database, but it's enough to allow to re-open DBs.

d8c976c3ad Follow-up: split the monolith!
This was a little more tricky than might be expected because the
initialization process uses the transactor to bootstrap the database.
Since Clojure doesn't accept mutually recursive modules, this
necessitated a third module, namely "db-factory", which uses both "db"
and "transact".  While I was here, I started an "api" module, to paper
over the potentially complicated internal module structure for external
consumers.  In time, this "api" module may also grow CLJS-specific JS
transformations.

d9a8cb0d6a Don't accept user-provided tx values.
This agrees with Datomic.  DataScript allows tx values, possibly to
allow reconstructing DBs from Datom streams, but appears to handle
user-provided tx values in the transactor inconsistently.

38545f6efc Add :tx and :txInstant to TxReport; accept :db/tx in transactor; allow to set :db/txInstant.
The implementation of :db/tx is special and may need to change over
time.  We add it as a special ident, with value the current transaction
entity ID, specified per-transaction.  This works well right now but
introduces some (internal) ordering requirements that may need to be
loosened.

f25838a1eb Support :db/fulltext true.
Internally, we use SQLite's FTS4 to maintain a fulltext_values table of
unique "text" values.  Fulltext indexed datoms have value v that is the
rowid into fulltext_values.  We manually maintain the map between rowid
and value in the transactor.

For convenience, we expose two views interpolating the real text values
into the datoms structure.

9497d69b44 Respect :db/unique constraints; test upserts.
This version includes SQLite-level unique indexes; these should never be
needed.  I've included them as a fail-safe while testing; they'll help
us catch errors in the transaction layer above.

In the future, we might add a layer of indirection, hashing values to

values differently, or ...
