LMDB should now dynamically resize the mapsize

Some filesystems (*cough* NTFS *cough*) aren't good with sparse files,
so this makes LMDB dynamically resize its mapsize as needed.  Note: the
check interval is currently every 10 blocks (for testing) and will
probably need to change to 1000 or something.  Default mapsize set to
1GiB.

Blockchain conversion tools using batching will probably segfault, I'll
fix that in the next commit.
