Revert "Fixed #16865 -- Made get_or_create use read database for initial get query."

Browse Source 
Thanks to Jeremy Dunck for pointing out the problem with this change. If in a
single transaction, the master deletes a record and then get_or_creates a
similar record, under the new behavior the get_or_create would find the record
in the slave db and fail to re-create it, leaving the record nonexistent, which
violates the contract of get_or_create that the record should always exist
afterwards. We need to do everything against the master here in order to ensure
correctness.

This reverts commit 901af86550.

* In a multi-database situation, ``get_or_create()`` will now use a read
database for the initial ``get`` attempt (previously, it used only the write
database for all queries). This change reduces load on the write (master)
database, in exchange for slightly more frequent false-negatives on the
initial ``get`` due to replication lag. In those cases the subsequent insert
will still go to the master and fail, after which the existing object will be
fetched from the master.
