State-Changed-Why:
There was some discussion on the help-gnats mailing list about this. Mel Hatzis 
warned against the change, since his site uses network mode exclusively. Still, 
the docs clearly state that the path field of the databases entry for a remote 
database should be empty, so checking that in order to find out if a database 
is local or not should be OK.

We may need to revisit this if we rip out local mode at some point.
