Avoid being clever even when there are APIs to support it

ZODB provides a number of APIs to support being clever. Mostly these come in the form of persistent-object methods that you can override, like __setstate__/__getstate__ and some of the _p_ methods. When I designed these to be overridden, I was trying to support my own flawed cleverness. (It took me a while to learn that being clever is usually not worth it.) I haven't overridden any of these methods in many years, while writing lots of ZODB application code. There may very rarely be cases where using these hooks make sense, but this is very rare.
