Subject: [PATCH] fix: init db in overridable method for easier extending (#21)

Sometimes you might want to pass a fully initialised level instance
to the LevelDatastore constructor or use a singleton or something
else.

Instead of creating the level instance in the constructor this change
adds a method that child classes can override to tweak the behaviour
as they see fit.
