Title: Add minimum supported version information to database drivers

This adds the minimum supported version information to the database drivers and a method to retrieve that string. The values currently used are MySQL 5.0.4 (the CMS minimum version at present) and SQL Server 2008 R2 (internal version 10.50.1600.1, per a discussion I had with Sudhi yesterday). I've also modified the getVersion method for SQL Server to just return the version string instead of the full array the sqlsrv_server_info method returns.
