Re: [IndexedDB] deleteObjectStore method and updates to IDBDatabase.objectStoreNames on the client

Well, createObjectStore is synchronous, so that one's easy.  Everything
happens at once in terms of side effects.

As for delete: why is this asynchronous again?  It seems easiest just to
make it sync unless there's some major problem with doing so.

Either way, it seems that the change to objectStoreNames should either
happen immediately or when firing the onsuccess event (i.e. not just at some
random time in between).
