Log Message:
Give fsIndex an efficient maxKey() implementation.

This will (in a later checkin) be used to give FileStorage an "obviously
correct" way to determine the largest oid used in an .fs.index file.

+fsIndex
+-------
+
+An efficient ``maxKey()`` method was implemented for the ``fsIndex`` class.
+This makes it possible to determine the largest oid in a ``FileStorage``
+index efficiently, directly, and reliably, replacing a more delicate scheme
+that tried to keep track of this by saving an oid high water mark in the
+index file and incrementally updating it.
