DB include w/ macros

Heinz Junkes requested to merge github/fork/mdavidsaver/dbparser-cleanup into 7.0

Created by: mdavidsaver

An idea I'm trying out. Partly an excuse for cleanup in the DBD parser code. Enables a .db files include w/o additional macro (re)definitions. A sort of hierarchical alternative to MSI.

include "other.db" "MAC=one"
include "other.db" "MAC=two"

Closes a corner case bug in the parser which requires that an include be at the end of a line (through re-use of line buffer and parser state). eg.

include "other.db" record(ai, "x") {

Currently fails to parse with the rather contradictory error

Error: syntax error
 at or before "record" in path "."  file "other.db" line 1

Where the "record" in question is actually the remainder of the line in the enclosing .db file.
