Because a) the table for the Timer app has changed, and in v2 (and prior) it was
always created, even if no user app would use it, and b) EclipseLink can't
modify a table in java2db mode, only drop and create (but we can't drop as there
might be data).

If there were ejb apps that already used the timer service, on their redeploy
for upgrade, the new timer app will be deployed, and I could try to figure out
how to do modify instead of create at that point.

If there were no users, this logic would become much more complicated as it
would need to happen on the regular 1st deploy of an app that uses ejb timers.

It'd be easier to do an explicit step of looking up the datasource, (hopefully)
identifying the database vendor, and executing a prepared in advance sql to
alter the table.
