Details

During developement, patching, and (sometimes) administration, it is necessary
to drop a table and rerun checksetup.   Checksetup used to always re-create any
tables that were missing altogether.  It no longer does this.

We need a mechanism to force checksetup to create mising tables even if the
serialized schema claims they exist.  It may be necessary to have the force
operation accept the name of the missing table.
In general, we could have checksetup do certain schema-consistency checks before
creating anything, if a schema existed already. I think that would be the best
way to handle this.

But this would be the first step of that, anyhow.
