// Checks if a PouchDB object is "remote" or not. This is
// designed to opt-in to certain optimizations, such as
// avoiding checks for "dependentDbs" and other things that
// we know only apply to local databases. In general, "remote"
// should be true for the http adapter, and for third-party
// adapters with similar expensive boundaries to cross for
// every API call, such as socket-pouch and worker-pouch.
// Previously, this was handled via db.type() === 'http'
// which is now deprecated.
