5.2.0-Release: Overhauled database support

With this release, we catch up with PHP5's version number. Coincidentially, XP 5.2.0 requires at least PHP 5.2.0 to run, but there is actually no connection between the XP and PHP version numbering scheme.

With this release comes a major change in how Database classes (rdbms.DataSet) have to look like - thus also the bump in the minor version number. Along with this, serveral minor improvements in speed and/or reliability have been made and xml.XSLProcessor has been deprecated; scriptlets now use xml.DomXSLProcessor by default.
