Fix for both DDC-710 and  DDC-693, added many tests for null conversion and additional tests for the empty value conversion

[2.0][DDC-354][DDC-425] Fixed. Encapsulated SQL logging better in the DBAL. Added binding types to DBAL mapping types as well as using these binding types in the persisters. Query and NativeQuery now support PDO binding types as well as DBAL mapping types when binding parameters.
