Title: API New Parameterised Database ORM for Silverstripe 3.2. Ticket #7429 Edit

* Database abstraction broken up into controller, connector, query builder, and schema manager, each independently configurable via YAML / Injector
* Creation of new DBQueryGenerator for database specific generation of SQL
* Support for parameterised queries, move of code base to use these over escaped conditions
* Refactor of SQLQuery into separate query classes for each of INSERT UPDATE DELETE and SELECT
* Support for PDO
* Installation process upgraded to use new ORM

See:

* https://github.com/silverstripe/sapphire/pull/1360 Framework pull request

Everything is going to break all at once and I'm anticipating lots of hard work in the near future.
