realtime: Fix LIKE escaping in SQL backends

The realtime framework allows for components to look up values using a
LIKE clause with similar syntax to SQL's. pbx_realtime uses this
functionality to search for pattern matching extensions that start with
an underscore (_).

When passing an underscore to SQL's LIKE clause, it will be interpreted
as a wildcard matching a single character and therefore needs to be
escaped. It is (for better or for worse) the responsibility of the
component that is querying realtime to escape it with a backslash before
passing it in. Some RDBMs support escape characters by default, but the
SQL92 standard explicitly says that there are no escape characters
unless they are specified with an ESCAPE clause, e.g.

	SELECT * FROM table WHERE column LIKE '\_%' ESCAPE '\'

This patch instructs 3 backends - res_config_mysql, res_config_pgsql,
and res_config_sqlite3 - to use the ESCAPE clause where appropriate.

Looking through documentation and source tarballs, I was able to
determine that the ESCAPE clause is supported in:

MySQL 5.0.15   (released 2005-10-22 - earliest version available from
                archives)
PostgreSQL 7.1 (released 2001-04-13)
SQLite 3.1.0   (released 2005-01-21)

The versions of the relevant libraries that we depend on to access MySQL
and PostgreSQL will not work on versions that old, and I've added an
explicit check in res_config_sqlite3 to only use the ESCAPE clause when
we have a sufficiently new version of SQLite3.

res_config_odbc already handles the escape characters appropriately, so
no changes were required there.
