Add Fake Local Catalog

Registered by Monty Taylor

In the future we will have catalogs, which will behave something like a
virtual host does in apache - so that within a given catalog, you'll see
a set of schemas and tables.

When this is fully implemented, it will introduce another level of
directory grouping. If you don't ever do anything with catalogs,
everything will exist within the 'local' catalog, which means instead of
the path to test.t1 being:

${DATADIR}/test/t1

It will be:

${DATADIR}/local/test/t1

In prep for the beta, support needs added for a local
catalog so that the disk locations for things will be right - that way
when (after beta) we actually implement catalogs for real, there won't
be a disk-based migration.
