BDB failures still suggest user to delete everything #2488

   It should just say remove database/, as no other files are related to the wallet anymore.

   @sipa Could be related to #2333, as I said, a former pull changed the message in Step 5: verify wallet database integrity, whereas everyone seems to ignore step 7 ;).

   I wonder how to formulate this correctly. It shouldn’t suggest making a backup of the entire directory - just wallet.dat and database/ should be enough, and then removing database/. I wonder if that isn’t better automated.

   Then again, the whole try-to-salvage-a-wallet idea is a huge hack, and I suppose we’d rather get rid of BDB wallets as soon as possible anyway.
