tdb: fix recovery reuse after crash
If a process (or the machine) dies after just after writing the
recovery head (pointing at the end of file), the recovery record will filled
with 0x42. This will not invoke a recovery on open, since rec.magic
!= TDB_RECOVERY_MAGIC.
Unfortunately, the first transaction commit will happily reuse that
area: tdb_recovery_allocate() doesn't check the magic. The recovery
record has length 0x42424242, and it writes that back into the
now-valid-looking transaction header) for the next comer (which
happens to be tdb_wipe_all in my tests).
