A note on the earlier conversation, the point of the original 'EXIT'
handling code was so that couch_file could outlive its parent. But that's not
possible because even if we trap exits, gen_server forces an exit if the signal
is from the parent. However, since all we were doing was ignoring a `normal`
exit and closing on anything else, that's the same exact behavior we'd get if
we just didn't trap exit signals.
