Major changes:
--------------
- connection handling algorithm rewritten. That should add stability and fix all non-reproducible crashes etc;
- extension refactored and divided into several files to improve readability and to make it easier to maintain;
- added support of statement caching;
- added support of privileged connections using external credentials;
- added new INI options to manage persistent connections;
- fixed oci_close() to close connections correctly.
rename constant and add library check to config.m4
add info lines to see if Collection & Temp Lob support enabled or not
add OCI_THREADED to use thread safe OCI mode with ZTS (should fix bug #26558)
OCILogon now has a forth optional parameter, which is the character set requested by the string (i.e. we8iso8859p1). when left blank, NLS_LANG or default is used.
config.m4 was changed to identify Oracle 9+ which is needed for this feature. all other oracle versions (lesser) fall back to the old behaviour.
There are some variables which are needed for Makefiles and files
created by AC_OUTPUT; we use PHP_SUBST_OLD for those now.
genif.sh was moved to an appropiate place.
