Previously the code failed in that it would return top-level plus a sub,
i.e. ["", "foo"], and it would consider "usr/lib" a prefix of
"usr/libexec" which it is not.
We're going to need the db.Instance to keep some state, and for that to
work we need the same one passed around everywhere. Hence this moves the
leveldb-specific file opening stuff into the db package and exports the
dbInstance type.
Overwriting configuration files is likely to happen if a
user syncs their home directories across computers. In this
case, the biggest risk is that all nodes will end up with
the same certificate and thus Device ID.
When the model prepares a folder for syncing, it checks to
see if the configuration files this instance is using are
getting synced. If the are getting synced, and they aren't
getting ignored, a warning is emitted. The model is used
so that when a new folder is added dynamically, a warning
is also emitted.
This will not prevent a user from shooting themselves in
the foot, and will not cover all cases (e.g. symlinks).
It should provide _something_ for many users in this
situation to go on, though.
