Refactoring in preparation for integration with geophile. The goal was
to do the binding of the z-value in AbstractStore, instead of deeper
in PersistitIndexRowBuffer. This sets the stage for handling non-point
spatial objects which give rise to multiple z-values, each represented
by an index row.
Tweak error message and rename for consistency
Added some yaml tests

Don't use ANTI joins if sides can be null

Add another compareRows() method based upon a full table scan, rather

table/group was not changed, would delete the underlying group storage
under the assumption the AlterTable processing had moved it.
