Experience has proved programmatically setting joins is not useful, and
getting the types and values of query parts was not being maintained.
The programmatic setting of GROUP BY may be useful in future, however.
This involved changes to the driver interface as well as the database
schemata. The most significantly altered queries were for article
selection and marking, which relied upon unusual features of SQLite.
Overall query efficiency should not be adversely affected (it may have
even imprved) in the common case, while very rare cases (not presently
triggered by any REST handlers) require more queries.
One notable benefit of these changes is that functions which query
articles can now have complete control over which columns are returned.
This has not, however, been implemented yet: symbolic column groups are
still used for now.
Note that PostgreSQL still fails many tests, but the test suite runs to
completion. Note also that one line of the Database class is not
covered; later changes will eventually make it easier to cover the line
in question.

Also added an AUTHORS file on the off chance of outside contributions
Also consolidated article star counting into a generic articleCount function which accepts a context.
This may lead to slight efficiency losses in either listing or marking (and more significant ones in counting starred), but the advantages of centralized context handling are significant with the future addition of labels and the need to count articles under various future contexts in TTRSS.
- Revamped design of Query class to be more consistent and predictable, and generally suck less
- Removed special case for Query class in Statement class
- Cleaned up database schema somewhat
- Test the values returned by articleList
- Test paged and reversed listing
- Test marking, un/read, un/starred, and both
- Nearly complete rewrite of marking queries; previous efforts simply did not work, or overzealously updated or inserted
- Testing of marking contexts still required
- Fixes#55
- Included test for Context
- Adjusted Database::editionLatest() to use Context
- Adjusted NCN handler and tests accordingly
- Also refined experimental Database::articleList() method and added experimental Database::articlePropertiesSet() method
- Driver->prepare() can now take a new Database\Query object as the first parameter
- The Query class allows for building a complex query out of a main body, common table expressions, WHERE coniditions, ordering conditions, a limit, and offset
- The subscriptionList method is the prototypical example of usage
- The experimental articleList method will in time be adapted to use this as well
- A generic means of specifying a selection context is forthcoming; this would remove subscriptionList's $folder and $id parameters, for instance
