Support both mysql_connect and mysql_pconnect

[mipalmer]

Some hosting providors only support mysql_connect. Add toggle option in settings.php to allow mysql_connect as well as mysql_pconnect. mysql_connect should probably be the default option.

This should be done in the settings.php file, as all the other settings are stored in the database, and cannot be retrieved until connected. : )

Also, phpBMS needs to assume pconnect unless explicity set in the settings file. THis will alow older versions to update gracefully without the need for manually fixing of the file.
