I am also of the opinion that the resource type checks are unhappy. We depend on driver internals.

* removed "charset" patch
* implemeted resource_type compare with in_array instead of regex
* implemented functional tests for connection and statement.

Revert "build a correct connection string for mirrored databases, too. In this case "host=ip1:port,ip2:port" servername and dbname are optional but can also be used without host parameter"

This reverts commit 0698cba6.

build a correct connection string for mirrored databases, too. In this case "host=ip1:port,ip2:port"
servername and dbname are optional but can also be used without host parameter

if $persistent=false, resource_type == 'SQLAnywhere connection'
