(ITS#8010) LMDB: New mdb_txn_begin() flag to init as reset

Using a read-only txn with mdb_txn_reset() and mdb_txn_renew() is a little clumsy at the moment because the first use needs to be a mdb_txn_begin().

This means either an initial mdb_txn_begin() + mdb_txn_reset() to get it into the reset state, or else for every operation to do something like:

if (txn) mdb_txn_renew() else mdb_txn_begin()

... do work ...

mdb_txn_reset()

An additional flag (eg. MDB_RESET?) for mdb_txn_begin() that only worked in conjunction with MDB_RDONLY could save that (minor) wasted work.
