Review Comment:
   In this case it would be a the user's application which uses CouchDB 
underneath. Say, if they'd never be a chance to have any databases with `n=2` 
or `n=1`. But, there is a chance the shard map could be manipulated by hand 
(rebalancing shards, restoring backups, etc) and so we'd want custodian to warn 
about some missing copies. With the current scheme of taking n = `number of 
shard ranges in the shard map` it's impossible to check for that condition 
(but, instead we allow creating dbs with n < cluster n and don't flag that as 
an error in custodian).
