[Zope-Coders] ZEO install/runtime issues fixed

[Chris McDonough]

OK, I've made the changes necessary to allow database definitions via
the config file.

I had to change the "zodb" section to "zodb_db" as Zope's database
definitions are special in that they can have one or more "mount-point"
keys and they should have a "name" (both for later DBTab-like
functionality) .  The database with the mount point named "/" will
become the "main" database (the zodb_db section's name is not actually
meaningful except for UI and bookkeeping purposes).
