Added code to skip suspicious looking query variables

On openacs.org, we are experiencing numerous requests with

multiply very long and strange query variables like in the example

below. So far, it is not clear, whether these requests are the

consequence of a double encoding or a deliberate attack. Many (most)

of the requests contain the query variable names containing the

(decoded) pattern "*amp;*".

This is a relatively new phenomenon. I cannot exclude that this is a

bug introduced lately in OpenACS, or a bug in an external bot, or

whatever. The problem with these query variables is that OpenACS

propagates these further, e.g., when updating query variables in

ad_dimensional, via export_vars, or return_urls.

Since OpenACS never uses these query-variables, these can be safely

skipped, without loosing functionality in OpenACS. It is possible to

construct examples, where skipping such variables can change the

semantics. Therefore, the change introduces a single function

util::suspicious_query_variable where in case of problems, the

skipping feature can be deactivated.

Removed dependency on file-storage

- there was a "silent" dependency of xotcl core to the file-storage, since it

used many message keys from there. User-experience of xo* was bad when

no file-storage was installed.

- The message keys went to acs-content-repository and acs-kernel

- bumped version to 5.10.1b6

never cache package_id, when acs_admin::require_site_wide_package returns empty.

moved functionality to automated testing

Removed memory leaks in the regression test

- new function ::xo::aa_check_leftovers to detect leaks a soon as possible

- made ::xo::stats better reusable by returning a dict

- extended regression test

- bumped xotcl-core to 5.10.1b5

file zz-final-procs.tcl was initially added on branch oacs-5-10.

Added parameter to define a default dbn to a database connection

By this change, one can now define a default dbn at the creation time

of a database connection object. Before, it was necessary to pass

the "-dbn" value to every single command. The parameter can still be

used for particular queries as before to overrule the default.

Example for defining a connection context to a pool named "legacy"

using the PostgreSQL database interface

::xo::db::DB-postgresql create ::xo::dc1 -dialect postgresql -dbn legacy

lappend _ [::xo::dc1 get_value . {select count(*) from acs_objects}]

lappend _ [::xo::dc get_value . {select count(*) from acs_objects}]

The old version was not persistent in the blueprints.

Furthermore, the new version is more than 2x faster by

avoiding regular expressions.
