This change includes mainly that the bracketed use within
select() is moved to positional, and keyword arguments are
removed from calls to the select() function.  it does not
yet fully address other issues such as keyword arguments passed
to the table.select().

Additionally, allows False / None to both be considered
as "disable" for all of select.correlate(), select.correlate_except(),
query.correlate(), which establishes consistency with
passing of ``False`` for the legact select(correlate=False)
argument.

The _execute_20 and exec_driver_sql methods should wrap
up the parameters so that they represent the single list / single
dictionary style of invocation into the legacy methods.  then
the before_ after_ execute event handlers should be receiving
the parameter dictionary as a single dictionary.   this requires
that we break out distill_params to work differently if event
handlers are present.

additionally, add deprecation warnings for old argument passing
styles.

Using the approach introduced at
https://gist.github.com/zzzeek/6287e28054d3baddc07fa21a7227904e

We can now create asyncio endpoints that are then handled
in "implicit IO" form within the majority of the Core internals.
Then coroutines are re-exposed at the point at which we call
into asyncpg methods.

Patch includes:

* asyncpg dialect

* asyncio package

* engine, result, ORM session classes

* new test fixtures, tests

* some work with pep-484 and a short plugin for the
  pyannotate package, which seems to have so-so results

<title>Add future=True to create_engine/Session; unify select()</title>

<content type='text'>
Several weeks of using the future_select() construct
has led to the proposal there be just one select() construct
again which features the new join() method, and otherwise accepts
both the 1.x and 2.x argument styles.   This would make
migration simpler and reduce confusion.

However, confusion may be increased by the fact that select().join()
is different  Current thinking is we may be better off
with a few hard behavioral changes to old and relatively unknown APIs
rather than trying to play both sides within two extremely similar
but subtly different APIs.  At the moment, the .join() thing seems
to be the only behavioral change that occurs without the user
taking any explicit steps.   Session.execute() will still
behave the old way as we are adding a future flag.

This change also adds the "future" flag to Session() and
session.execute(), so that interpretation of the incoming statement,
as well as that the new style result is returned, does not
occur for existing applications unless they add the use
of this flag.

The change in general is moving the "removed in 2.0" system
further along where we want the test suite to fully pass
even if the SQLALCHEMY_WARN_20 flag is set.

Get many tests to pass when SQLALCHEMY_WARN_20 is set; this
should be ongoing after this patch merges.

Improve the RemovedIn20 warning; these are all deprecated
"since" 1.4, so ensure that's what the messages read.
Make sure the inforamtion link is on all warnings.
Add deprecation warnings for parameters present and
add warnings to all FromClause.select() types of methods.

<title>Default psycopg2 executemany mode to "values_only"</title>

The psycopg2 dialect now defaults to using the very performant
``execute_values()`` psycopg2 extension for compiled INSERT statements,
and also impements RETURNING support when this extension is used.  This
allows INSERT statements that even include an autoincremented SERIAL
or IDENTITY value to run very fast while still being able to return the
newly generated primary key values.   The ORM will then integrate this
new feature in a separate change.

Implements RETURNING for insert with executemany

Adds support to return_defaults() mode and inserted_primary_key
to support mutiple INSERTed rows, via return_defauls_rows
and inserted_primary_key_rows accessors.

within default execution context, new cached compiler
getters are used to fetch primary keys from rows

inserted_primary_key now returns a plain tuple. this
is not yet a row-like object however this can be
added.

Adds distinct "values_only" and "batch" modes, as
"values" has a lot of benefits but "batch" breaks
cursor.rowcount

psycopg2 minimum version 2.7 so we can remove the
large number of checks for very old versions of
psycopg2

simplify tests to no longer distinguish between
native and non-native json

<title>Turn on caching everywhere, add logging</title>

A variety of caching issues found by running
all tests with statement caching turned on.

The cache system now has a more conservative approach where
any subclass of a SQL element will by default invalidate
the cache key unless it adds the flag inherit_cache=True
at the class level, or if it implements its own caching.

Add working caching to a few elements that were
omitted previously; fix some caching implementations
to suit lesser used edge cases such as json casts
and array slices.

Refine the way BaseCursorResult and CursorMetaData
interact with caching; to suit cases like Alembic
modifying table structures, don't cache the
cursor metadata if it were created against a
cursor.description using non-positional matching,
e.g. "select *".   if a table re-ordered its columns
or added/removed, now that data is obsolete.

Additionally we have to adapt the cursor metadata
_keymap regardless of if we just processed
cursor.description, because if we ran against
a cached SQLCompiler we won't have the right
columns in _keymap.

Other refinements to how and when we do this
adaption as some weird cases
were exposed in the Postgresql dialect,
a text() construct that names just one column that
is not actually in the statement.   Fixed that
also as it looks like a cut-and-paste artifact
that doesn't actually affect anything.

Various issues with re-use of compiled result maps
and cursor metadata in conjunction with tables being
changed, such as change in order of columns.

mappers can be cleared but the class remains, meaning
a mapper has to use itself as the cache key not the class.

lots of bound parameter / literal issues, due to Alembic
creating a straight subclass of bindparam that renders
inline directly.   While we can update Alembic to not
do this, we have to assume other people might be doing
this, so bindparam() implements the inherit_cache=True
logic as well that was a bit involved.

turn on cache stats in logging.

Includes a fix to subqueryloader which moves all setup to
the create_row_processor() phase and elminates any storage
within the compiled context.   This includes some changes
to create_row_processor() signature and a revising of the
technique used to determine if the loader can participate
in polymorphic queries, which is also applied to
selectinloading.

DML update.values() and ordered_values() now coerces the
keys as we have tests that pass an arbitrary class here
which only includes __clause_element__(), so the
key can't be cached unless it is coerced.  this in turn
changed how composite attributes support bulk update
to use the standard approach of ClauseElement with
annotations that are parsed in the ORM context.

memory profiling successfully caught that the Session
from Query was getting passed into _statement_20()
so that was a big win for that test suite.

Apparently Compiler had .execute() and .scalar() methods
stuck on it, these date back to version 0.4 and there
was a single test in the PostgreSQL dialect tests
that exercised it for no apparent reason.   Removed
these methods as well as the concept of a Compiler
holding onto a "bind".

Removed all dialect code related to support for Jython and zxJDBC. Jython
has not been supported by SQLAlchemy for many years and it is not expected
that the current zxJDBC code is at all functional; for the moment it just
takes up space and adds confusion by showing up in documentation. At the
moment, it appears that Jython has achieved Python 2.7 support in its
releases but not Python 3.   If Jython were to be supported again, the form
it should take is against the Python 3 version of Jython, and the various
zxJDBC stubs for various backends should be implemented as a third party
dialect.

Additionally modernized logic that distinguishes between "cpython"
and "pypy" to instead look at platform.python_distribution() which
reliably tells us if we are cPython or not; all booleans which
previously checked for pypy and sometimes jython are now converted
to be "not cpython", this impacts the test suite for tests that are
cPython centric.

Added new "post compile parameters" feature.  This feature allows a
:func:`.bindparam` construct to have its value rendered into the SQL string
before being passed to the DBAPI driver, but after the compilation step,
using the "literal render" feature of the compiler.  The immediate
rationale for this feature is to support LIMIT/OFFSET schemes that don't
work or perform well as bound parameters handled by the database driver,
while still allowing for SQLAlchemy SQL constructs to be cacheable in their
compiled form.     The immediate targets for the new feature are the "TOP
N" clause used by SQL Server (and Sybase) which does not support a bound
parameter, as well as the "ROWNUM" and optional "FIRST_ROWS()" schemes used
by the Oracle dialect, the former of which has been known to perform better
without bound parameters and the latter of which does not support a bound
parameter.   The feature builds upon the mechanisms first developed to
support "expanding" parameters for IN expressions.   As part of this
feature, the Oracle ``use_binds_for_limits`` feature is turned on
unconditionally and this flag is now deprecated.

- adds limited support for "unique" bound parameters within
a text() construct.

- adds an additional int() check within the literal render
function of the Integer datatype and tests that non-int values
raise ValueError.

Fixes: #4808
