    When Evolver sets itself up, it looks for the presence of a Version
    table, falling back on bootstrapping if it doesn't exist. This was done
    by attempting a direct query and then initiating bootstrap if no
    Version items were present or if the table itself didn't exist in the
    database.

    Handling this by watching for an error isn't ideal, and can impact any
    parent transaction, or obscure other issues. Instead, the better
    approach is to look to see if the table exists in the database directly.

    This change implements that, and takes care of a similar type of check
    in one of the Evolver unit tests.

    Unit tests pass for all databases.
