trans.c: create transaction prior to checking DB version
The addition of the DB version check introduces a lag time between the lockfile creation and the transaction initialization. In cases where the local DB is large enough and/or the user's disk is slow enough, this time is significant enough that its possible for a user to send a SIGINT and leave behind a db.lck file.
