callcount reductions and refinement for cached queries

This commit includes that we've removed the "_orm_query"
attribute from compile state as well as query context.
The attribute created reference cycles and also added
method call overhead.    As part of this change,
the interface for ORMExecuteState changes a bit, as well
as the interface for the horizontal sharding extension
which now deprecates the "query_chooser" callable
in favor of "execute_chooser", which receives the contextual
object.  This will also work more nicely when we implement
the new execution path for bulk updates and deletes.

Pre-merge execution options for statement, connection,
arguments all up front in Connection.  that way they
can be passed to the before_execute / after_execute events,
and the ExecutionContext doesn't have to merge as second
time.   Core execute is pretty close to 1.3 now.

baked wasn't using the new one()/first()/one_or_none() methods,
fixed that.

Convert non-buffered cursor strategy to be a stateless
singleton.  inline all the paths by which the strategy
gets chosen, oracle and SQL Server dialects make use of the
already-invoked post_exec() hook to establish the alternate
strategies, and this is actually much nicer than it was before.

Add caching to mapper instance processor for getters.

Identified a reference cycle per query that was showing
up as a lot of gc cleanup, fixed that.

After all that, performance not budging much.  Even
test_baked_query now runs with significantly fewer function
calls than 1.3, still 40% slower.

Basically something about the new patterns just makes
this slower and while I've walked a whole bunch of them
back, it hardly makes a dent.  that said, the performance
issues are relatively small, in the 20-40% time increase
range, and the new caching feature
does provide for regular ORM and Core queries that
are cached, and they are faster than non-cached.
