Checked database destruction for ORA-29857, which happens when objects of
some types are left over in an old test database (notably, such objects
are created by the GIS backend). When this happens, we can resolve the
issue by dropping the test-user (if we are allowed to).
An alternative approach, to just switch the order of creation (so that,
if the test user exists and can be dropped, it is always dropped before
the tablespace) was considered; but since the user creation depends on
the tablespace, this would necessitate separating the dropping of the user
from its creation -- a change I am reluctant to make.
Thanks Josh Smeaton and Tim Graham for reviews.
because the roles (specifically RESOURCE) are deprecated.
Also added optional support for creating views in tests, and made an
introspection test fail (rather than skip) if a view cannot be created
due to lacking privileges.

Complete rework of translating data values from database
Deprecation of SubfieldBase, removal of resolve_columns and
convert_values in favour of a more general converter based approach and
public API Field.from_db_value(). Now works seamlessly with aggregation,
.values() and raw queries.
Thanks to akaariai in particular for extensive advice and inspiration,
also to shaib, manfre and timograham for their reviews.

Refs #22738 Repeats the mysql "offense". When the issue is solved, the
Oracle special case should be made to play with the solution (that is,
Oracle should be fixed the same way that mysql and the 3rd-party backneds
are).
This is achieved by inserting a fake entry in connection.queries when
not releasing a savepoint (since Oracle doesn't support that operation.)
Also removed the can_release_savepoints feature that was recently added,
but is superseded by this solution.
This seems worthwhile in its own right, but also works around an Oracle
bug (in versions 10 -- 11.1) where the use of Unicode would reset the
date/time formats, causing ORA-01843 errors.
Thanks Trac users CarstenF for the report, jtiai for the initial patch,
and everyone who contributed to the discussion on the ticket.
Change database test settings from "TEST_"-prefixed entries in the
database settings dictionary to setting in a dictionary that is itself
an entry "TEST" in the database settings.

Thanks Josh Smeaton for review.
This commit touchs various parts of the code base and test framework. Any
found usage of opening a cursor for the sake of initializing a connection
has been replaced with 'ensure_connection()'.
Broke InspectDBTestCase.test_field_types in two:
- a test_number_field_types, which now passes on Oracle too
- a test_field_types, for all non-numeric fields, which is still expected to fail
Also made some pep8 fixes in the tests file. Refs #19884
Thanks Tim Graham for review.
Also ensured the transaction state is clean on Oracle while I was there.
This change cannot be backported to 1.6 because it's
backwards-incompatible for custom database backends.
