Actually a better solution to this would be to match the new temp view
behavior in CouchDB single node behavior where we just create a design document
and query that.

Theoretically that should be fairly straightforward to adapt to the cluster
layer.
For background, the original CouchDB view engine used a temp file for
building temp indexes that had no record in the actual database. This was
difficult/ugly to support on a cluster so Cloudant just disabled them since
they weren't a high demand feature. However when we rewrote the indexing system
with couch_index/couch_mrview we changed the temp view behavior to just create
a design document and query that which simplified the feature greatly. Now that
that's been the behavior in CouchDB for so long on the cluster side we can do
the same thing with the same behavior.
