- merged the "execcontext" branch, refactors engine/dialect codepaths

- much more functionality moved into ExecutionContext, which impacted
the API used by dialects to some degree
- ResultProxy and subclasses now designed sanely
- merged patch for #522, Unicode subclasses String directly,
MSNVarchar implements for MS-SQL, removed MSUnicode.
- String moves its "VARCHAR"/"TEXT" switchy thing into
"get_search_list()" function, which VARCHAR and CHAR can override
to not return TEXT in any case (didnt do the latter yet)
- implements server side cursors for postgres, unit tests, #514
- includes overhaul of dbapi import strategy #480, all dbapi
importing happens in dialect method "dbapi()", is only called
inside of create_engine() for default and threadlocal strategies.
Dialect subclasses have a datamember "dbapi" referencing the loaded
module which may be None.
- added "mock" engine strategy, doesnt require DBAPI module and
gives you a "Connecition" which just sends all executes to a callable.
can be used to create string output of create_all()/drop_all().
