While the name of the created database and the filename it is saved as is
passed as arguments to `create_database`, the contents of the database is
defined in the variable `_messages`. This is a list of `Message` namedtuples
that describes all the messages to be put in the database:

* Their `name`, `id`, and `dlc` fields are passed to
  `canlib.kvadblib.Dbc.new_message`.

* Their `signals` attribute is a list of `Signal` or `EnumSignal`
  namedtuples. All their fields will be passed to
  `canlib.kvadblib.Dbc.new_signal`.
