asfernandes ed0e0daeb3 - External Engines implementation.
- Plugins API.

- Feature CORE-2700 - UDR (User Defined Routines) Engine - C++ API supporting functions, triggers and stored procedures.
- Feature CORE-2470 - Support for alternate format of strings literals.
- Feature CORE-2310 - DDL triggers.
- Feature CORE-2312 - PSQL Packages.
- Feature CORE-1209 - CONTINUE statement.
- Feature CORE-1180 - DDL syntax to change (not) nullable state of columns.
- Feature CORE-2090 - Support OVER () clause with current aggregate functions.

- Fixed CORE-2699 - Common table expression context could be used with parameters.

- Introduce ODS 12.0.

- Work in progress in type-safe parser.
- Refactor some DDL commands (procedures and triggers) from DYN to DdlNodes.
- Refactor virtual tables to use a class hierarchy instead of namespaces. This is basic thing, not based on the changes done in Vulcan. Window functions is based on this work.
- Refactor COMMENT ON and DROP FUNCTION from DYN to DdlNodes. COMMENT ON do not use GDML anymore, it uses DSQL with PreparedStatement class.
- Refactor EXECUTE BLOCK to StmtNodes.
- Refactor the IUDF to SysFunctions. That eliminates RDB$GET_CONTEXT and RDB$SET_CONTEXT from RDB$FUNCTIONS.

Alternate String Quoting
------------------------
Support for alternate format of strings literals.
Author:
Adriano dos Santos Fernandes <adrianosf@uol.com.br>
Syntax:
<alternate string literal> ::=
{ q | Q } <quote> <alternate start char> [ { <char> }... ] <alternate end char> <quote>
Syntax rules:
When <alternate start char> is '(', '{', '[' or '<', <alternate end char> is respectively
')', '}', ']' and '>'. In other cases, <alternate end char> is equal to <alternate start char>.
Notes:
Inside the string, i.e., <char> items, single (not escaped) quotes could be used.
Each quote will be part of the result string.
Examples:
select q'{abc{def}ghi}' from rdb$database; -- result: abc{def}ghi
select q'!That's a string!' from rdb$database; -- result: That's a string
