https://github.com/apache/couchdb-couch/pull/209
remove compact files on failure
In the case when `compact.meta` file is corrupted the compaction fails over
and over.
This fixes the cyclic failure aspect by use of a `.compact.crash` flag file.
The logic is:
```python
if there is an exception and `.compact.crash` exists:
remove(.compact.{meta|data})
```
