* User-supplied prologues and epilogues are now generated outside the
pre.hxx/post.hxx includes. This allows the use of precompiled headers
with the generated files.

+ <code>odb::stderr_tracer</code> and <code>odb::stderr_full_tracer</code>
+ are built-in tracer implementations provided by the ODB runtime.
+ They both print SQL statements being executed to the standard error

+ also traces their preparations and deallocations. One situation where
+ the full tracer can be particularly useful is if a statement (for
+ example a custom query) contains a syntax error. In this case the
+ error will be detected during preparation and, as a result, the
+ statement will never be executed. The only way to see such a statement
