RFC #0159: Deadlock handling

Scope of Change
A new class rdbms.SQLDeadlockException will be introduced. The rdbms drivers will handle dead lock situations specially and throw this new exception instead of a generic SQLStatementFailedException.

Rationale
Deadlocks are a very special case in database systems and often need special programmatic handling.
