Log Message: open database using the real structure (partial fix to ITS#5724)

We need a virtual database to inherit controls from the real database. Sharing the array of known controls could be a solution, but it wouldn't allow the virtual database to have specific controls, e.g. registered by an overlay. A solution would be to let the real database know it's related to virtual ones, so that modifications to the real database via back-config can be propagated to the virtual ones. This, of course, poses the problem that if a virtual database is deleted, any reference to it must be removed from the list of related databases. I wonder if all of this is worth the effort of exposing real controls by the virtual database.
