Open API

[cespare]

Hey, I was curious about the initialization API:

var db bolt.DB
if err := db.Open("/path", 0666); err != nil {
  ...

I didn't see how this worked until I looked at an example. I was looking for a global function to open a database. The typical pattern I would expect to find (examples: net, database/sql, leveldb-go, mgo) is like this:

db, err := bolt.Open("/path", 0666); err != nil {
  ...

Was this a deliberate break from convention? Not a big deal, just curious. (I'd also be happy to send over a trivial PR to add this.)

That's a good point. @tv42 mentioned that in #41 as well. It's an easy change. I'll go ahead and add it in.

Oops, sorry for not looking through the issue list.

@cespare I accidentally closed it before because I fixed another issue in #41. I just re-opened it.

but...I closed it. It was a dup.
