That just means we need to make the default database policy
(MasterDatabasePolicy) aware of read-only.txt and hand out the desired
Stores, or install a ReadOnlyModeDatabasePolicy on startup if
read-only.txt exists. Everything in Launchpad retrieves its stores via
the IStoreSelector and the currently installed IDatabasePolicy so this
should work fine.
