The backfill hung off --ingest, --output, --correct, --importposts and
--updatepaths, because those were where EnsureTTFileHelperColumnsExist was
already being called. But the no-argument traversal is the mode that
actually gets run day to day, and it called none of them -- so the command
used most often was the one command that never repaired an untyped row.
TraverseDirectory already types the posts it inserts, from the filename it
is reading. This closes the other half: the rows already sitting untyped
now get fixed by an ordinary run, with no separate maintenance command.
Called before BeginImportSession so it uses its own connection rather than
contending with the import session's, and before the traversal so existing
rows are typed first and newly inserted ones arrive already typed.
