[mdb-dev] backend.c

[Jeff S. <why...@ya...>]

I am working on some changes to src/libmdb/backend.c.
There are a couple of small API changes that would help
clean things up in my opinion.

1. a. from mdb_register_backend (MdbBackend *, char *)
       to  mdb_register_backend (MdbBackendType *, char *)
      and make the memory allocation done inside this function.
   b. This function is only called from mdb_init_backends,
      which is in the same file.  Should we make this function
      file-local ('static')?

2. mdb_get_relationships currently returns an empty string
   when unsuccessful.  Returning a NULL would be more in line
   with standard practice, and would be a little simpler.
   This change would require minor changes to gmdb2/schema.c
   and util/mdb-schema.c.
