Log Message:

This 15262 (that's fifteenthousendtwohundredsomething) line patch is my
entry in the category for "Biggest consecutive patch that does, well, uh,
nothing". From a users point of view that is.

This patch converts Myth's internals to use a connection pool for database
stuff, mostly driven by the need to workaround a bug in Qt/MySql. DB 
connections crash if closed and reopened, as debugged by Jim Perry & 
others, see -dev list for details.

Added benefit, all DB stuff is simplified. No more passing DB connections
& locks around. Here's some info for working with the new DB stuff:

Rule #1: Never use QSqlQuery or QSqlDatabase directly.
Rule #2: Never use QSqlQuery or QSqlDatabase directly.
Rule #3: Use MSqlQuery for all DB stuff.

MSqlQuery is tied to a connection pool in Mythcontext. DB connections are
automatically set up by creating an MSqlQuery object. Use the helper 
functions to create an MSqlQuery object e.g. 
MSqlQuery query(MSqlQuery::InitCon());
The MSqlQuery object gets exclusive access to the connection for its 
lifetime. The connection is automatically returned when the MSqlQuery 
object is destroyed.

For more details look at libmyth/mythdbcon.cpp/h, that's where most of 
the DB action is now going on.

*Note: This will break the plugins, they should be updated shortly.
