Add the ability to force a new connection to the database when using MySQL or Postgresql.

When you have SMF and another application in the same database and are integrating them, such as with SSI.php, the database handle is re-used by default. This mod allows you to specify a variable, either before SSI.php is called or in Settings.php, that will force a new, separate connection for SMF's use.

Just add

$db_fnewconn = true;

Either in Settings.php or before including SSI.php.

(may need to be made a global, depending on your integration method)

Tested with MySQL, should work with Postgresql.
