      Bug#39089: Invalid check for serial_log_directory.
      
      Falcon throws exception telling serial log directory is invalid 
      and refuses to initialize. An attempt was already made to fix
      this error in the past, and even this attempt did not work in
      all cases (root directory on Windows  like C: would not work for example)
      
      Solution presented here is rather simple - we do not check for valid 
      directory at all. If serial log file cannot be opened or created during 
      database creation, the server does not start anyway.
      
      We should not also try to create database if serial log cannot be opened.
      (there will be no loss of data, since we do not overwrite existing files,
      but error message coming from create database is misleading).
      
      Hence, this patch also contains fix to trigger database creation only 
      if falcon_master.fts cannot be opened - trying to create database 
      otherwise makes no sense and in presence of master tablespace going to 
      fail anyway.
