URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/5331

   Previously, if users had invalid ddocs in the cluster, for instance 
something like `_design/`, the scanner would crash when transforming them into 
`#doc{}` records. That happened because the `couch_doc` function would 
automatically revalidate them: check max doc length ID, attachments format, 
revision format, doc ID format, etc. Which altogether silly, since they are 
already saved in our cluster.
   
   So, to avoid wasting resources revalidating existing documents, and crashing 
the scanner process, use a much simpler function to transform the ddocs: make a 
new `#doc{}` record with the ID and body by throwing away all the "special" doc 
fields we don't care about (`_rev`, `_conflicts`, ...).
