No objections in principle, but a cleaner option might be to add methods
to the dbServer structure (which QSRV should support if possible) and
make the rsrv_init(), rsrv_run() and rsrv_pause() calls in iocInit into
calls to all registered servers through this interface. The
dbRegisterServer() call in rsrv_init() would move into a registrar
routine referenced in a new rsrv.dbd file.

Will QSRV support pausing? This was added for DESY's hot-standby work; I
don't see it as particularly important, but QSRV should probably display
a warning message when someone tries to use it if it's not supported.
