Fix for "db type could not be determined" error message

Browse Source 
If tests are run under py27 then run under py34 or py35, user may get
`db type could not be determined` error.

This patch adds a note to the dev-quickstart guide telling user to
remove the file `.testrepository/times.dbm` and then run the py34 or
py35 test to work around this error.
