Don't trap exits in couch_file
It turns out to be impossible to trap the exit message from the parent
process in a gen_server, which is the only reason couch_file traps
exits in the first place (i.e, this has never worked).
This commit also changes the hot upgrade code to handle this
transition (but not the previous one).
