    vlserver: Add VL_DBBAD error code
    
    The VL_ error table currently doesn't have an error code to indicate
    that an operation cannot succeed because the database is corrupted.
    There are a few error codes for specific cases of errors that are
    probably the result of corruption (like VL_IDALREADYHASHED, or
    VL_EMPTY), but these are only for specific cases and indicate rather
    low-level internal problems.
    
    There are some instances where the real problem preventing an
    operation from succeeding is that the database is just corrupt or
    inconsistent in some way, and the administrator must repair the
    database before it can succeed. And we currently don't have any way of
    indicating that situation via an error code.
    
    So, introduce the VL_DBBAD code, to indicate this situation. Error
    codes already exist in other tables for similar situations, such as
    PRDBBAD, and KADATABASEINCONSISTENT.
    
    This commit does not use the new error code anywhere; we just
    introduce it into the VL_ error table, so comerr-using applications
    will be able to interpret it.
    
    Note that the VL_DBBAD error code has been recognized by the AFS
    Assigned Numbers Registry as recorded in the ticket history of
    <https://rt.central.org/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=134817>
