      Coverity suddenly complained about 4 fopen calls in test/salvage/salvage.c, complaints #1399726, 27, 28 and 29.

CID 1399729 (#1 of 1): Side effect in assertion (ASSERT_SIDE_EFFECT)
assignment_where_comparison_intended: Assignment res_fp = fopen("WT_TEST/__slvg.result", "w") has a side effect. This code will work differently in a non-debug build.
   	Did you intend to use a comparison ("==") instead?
163        testutil_assert((res_fp = fopen(RSLT, "w")) != NULL);

      I don't see any real problems, but I'll submit a branch to keep Coverity quiet.
