A callgrind analysis showed, that we spend much of our time inside the
multimap functions. It seems that the multimap implementation provided
by gcc requires memory allocations for equal_range and other lookups.

This change results in a 120% performance increase on my system.

* Build-Depends: Drop versioned constraint on libpqxx-dev.

Changes-By: deb-scrub-obsolete

As suggested by George Rawlinson.
closes #46

Close #38

in addition to autotools, provide CMake build support.
This allows features like fetching libpqxx directly from upstream
in case of an old or broken libpqxx on the target systemd, and should
allow building sqlsmith on windows.

Looks like ancient versions of libpqxx (like the ones shipped on Ubuntu 18.04)
don't have exec_prepared(). So test for libpqxx 7 and conditionally use work::prepared() if we find an older version.

pqxx::connection::activate() and pqxx::connection::disconnect() are gone,
the former doesn't have a corresponding substitute. Instead the caller is
encouraged to watch out for broken_connection exception. Also the explicit
activation of a PostgreSQL connection is no longer supported.

work::prepared() is also no longer supported, so change this to
work::exec_prepared(). There's no need to special case this for older libpqxx
versions, since this method is already present there, too.

This commit wraps those deprecated API calls into a ifdef to support
builds with an older libpqxx version. We might get rid of this if we don't want
to have support for those older ones.

libpqxx 7 requires C++17 and thus requires us to tell the compiler to use
the right compiler flag. Teach autoconf to test for the proper switches
depending on the libpqxx version found.

This also defines a new macro HAVE_LIBPQXX7 in config.h, which will be
used by the follow up commit to reflect recent API changes in libpqxx 7.
