Nexedi stack is dropping support for that old ZODB version - see e.g.

- nexedi/slapos@70d05199
- nexedi/neoppod@3a8f6f03
- nexedi/wendelin.core@0802da2b

Regarding test/gen_testdata.py: even though ZODB4 uses zodbpickle, and
so should be able to load pickles encoded with protocol 3 even on
python2, in practice it does not work so well: ZODB4 tests fail if I set

-> so continue to preserve protocol < 3 when generating the test
database for compatibility - now with ZODB4/py2.

The patch that provides raw-extension functionality was merged into ZODB 5.6:

https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/commit/2f8cc67a3ba3

So when testing with ZODB5 >= 5.6 the tests will excercise code path
that uses txn.extension_bytes, and when testing with ZODB4 the tests
will excercise code path that work-arounds lack of txn.extension_bytes.

Zodbdump format is text-binary and is saved into files opened in binary
mode. -> We have to emit bytes - not strings - into it, since otherwise
on Python3 it would break.

This needs qq support from pygolang[1] to be able to use qq with both
string and bytestring format, e.g. for

	 "hello %s" % qq(name),	and
	b"hello %s" % qq(name)

to give the same output irregardless of whether name is str or bytes.

[1] nexedi/pygolang!1

Zodbdump format is already described as semi text-binary in top-level
zodbdump.py documentation. However zdump() docstring was referring to it
as "text". Fix it and use binary to handle places where zdump is
loaded/saved.

%r has different output for strings and bytes on python3:

	In [1]: a = 'hello'
	In [2]: b = b'hello'

	In [3]: repr(a)
	Out[3]: "'hello'"

	In [4]: repr(b)
	Out[4]: "b'hello'"

-> Use qq whose output is stable irregardless of whether input is string or bytes.

zodbinfo: Provide "head" as command to query DB head; Turn "last_tid" into deprecated alias for head

Similarly to go version: kirr/neo@151d8b79.

Starting with upcoming ZODB 5.5.2 ZODB tries to preserve
`extension_bytes` transaction metadata property in the raw form as it
was stored on disk in the database:

    https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/commit/2f8cc67a

However now when running test/gen_testdata.py with ZODB with that patch (and
gen_testdata.py refuses to work if it detects that ZODB does not properly
supports .extension_bytes property because we want it to be present in the
generated test database [1,2]) it now breaks:

    $ ./gen_testdata.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "./gen_testdata.py", line 230, in <module>
        main()
      File "./gen_testdata.py", line 224, in main
        gen_testdb("%s.fs" % dbname, zext=zext)
      File "./gen_testdata.py", line 194, in gen_testdb
        stor.tpc_begin(txn)
      File "/home/kirr/src/wendelin/z/ZODB/src/ZODB/BaseStorage.py", line 193, in tpc_begin
        ext = transaction.extension_bytes
    AttributeError: 'Transaction' object has no attribute 'extension_bytes'

The breakage is because, as specified in ZODB interfaces[3,4], storage requires
ZODB.IStorageTransactionMetaData, not transaction.ITransaction instance
gen_testdata.py was using. The script used to work before just by luck.

The fix is to convert transaction instance into storage transaction metadata
object for the place where we talk to storage at raw level.

HOWEVER, when checking regenerated database and its dump I noticed:

ZODB >= 5.4.0 uses pickle protocol 3 on both python2 and python3

    https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/commit/12ee41c4

In other words it saves e.g. OID of an object as pickle binary, which decodes
as bytes on py3 and zodbpickle.binary on py2 when decoding via zodbpickle.
However it will result in *DecodeError* when decoding on py2 with standard
pickle module. The latter means that ZODB3 will _fail_ to load data from test
database, because ZODB3 - contrary to ZODB4 and ZODB5 - uses std pickle module,
not zodbpickle.

We still care about ZODB3 and in particular it is included into
zodbtools test matrix:

    https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/zodbtools/blob/7bc0385e/tox.ini#L9-14

so we cannot break it.

-> Temporarily patch ZODB at runtime to make sure it emits data with
older protocol and without using zodbpickle.binary for oid, so that
generated test database could be loaded on ZODB3 as well.

gen_testdata.py now works with latest ZODB, but produces exactly the
same bit-to-bit output as before.

@jerome, I was trying to make zodbtools work with Python3 and along that road picked some bits of your work from nexedi/zodbtools!12. At present the migration to Python3 is not complete, and even though now I have the answer to how handle strings in both python2/3 in compatible and reasonable way (I can share details if you are interested), I have to put that work on hold for some time and use https://pypi.org/project/pep3134 directly in wcfs tests, since getting all string details right, even after figuring on how to do it, will take time. Anyway the bits presented here should be ready for master and could be merged now. Could you please have a look?

Thanks beforehand,  
Kirill

until https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/pull/183 gets merged, let's
run also the tests for this, since we have support for this extension.

also simplify a bit definition as ZODB is common in all versions

- cover only last 2 py3 releases: 3.6 and 3.7 for now (3.8 is not yet

- separate ZODB3 as it supports only python2.

Use tox to test with all kinds of ZODB.
With preceding 3 patches tests pass with all versions of upstream ZODB.

TODO: test coverage for both py2 and py3.

maxtid is in ZODB.utils starting only from ZODB5.

ZODB{3,4} want txn._extension, while ZODB5 deprecate it in favour of
txn.extension.

IStorageTransactionMetaData is ZODB5-only interface. Bug introduced in
dd959b28 (zodbdump += DumpReader - to read/parse zodbdump stream).

Currently we exercise zodbdump and zodbcommit+zodbdump with non-empty
extensions, which works if ZODB is patched for txn.extension_bytes
support, but fails on pristine ZODB.

Support for txn.extension_bytes cannot get into upstream ZODB for
more than a year:

https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/pull/183
https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/pull/207

and  even if it somehow will make it, it will likely be only in ZODB5,
while we still care to support ZODB4 and ZODB3.

Skipping zodbdump / zodbcommit tests, if a ZODB does not have
txn.extension_bytes support, would result in significant reduction of
zodbtools test coverage, because practically that is the current
situation with all upstream ZODB{3,4,5}. Dropping test coverage for
non-empty extensions is neither a good option.

For those reason, let's rework the tests and test both zodbdump and
zodbcommit with two scenarios:

1. on a test database where transactions extensions are always empty.
   This should work on all ZODB irregardless of whether
   txn.extension_bytes patch is there or not.

2. on a test database where transactions extensions are present.
   This should work if ZODB has txn.extension_bytes support, but if not,
   we can mark this case as xfail, since the failure is expected.

This way we make the testsuite pass irregardless of whether
txn.extension_bytes support is there, and we don't abandon dump/commit
testing coverage.
