the warning here to all safe_reraise() cases in Python 2.
- Revisiting :ticket:`2696`, first released in 1.0.10, which attempts to
work around Python 2's lack of exception context reporting by emitting
a warning for an exception that was interrupted by a second exception
when attempting to roll back the already-failed transaction; this
issue continues to occur for MySQL backends in conjunction with a
savepoint that gets unexpectedly lost, which then causes a
"no such savepoint" error when the rollback is attempted, obscuring
what the original condition was.

The approach has been generalized to the Core "safe
reraise" function which takes place across the ORM and Core in any
place that a transaction is being rolled back in response to an error
which occurred trying to commit, including the context managers
provided by :class:`.Session` and :class:`.Connection`, and taking
place for operations such as a failure on "RELEASE SAVEPOINT".
Previously, the fix was only in place for a specific path within
the ORM flush/commit process; it now takes place for all transational
context managers as well.
fixes #2696

persistence of JSON values in MySQL as well as basic operator support
of "getitem" and "getpath", making use of the ``JSON_EXTRACT``
function in order to refer to individual paths in a JSON structure.
fixes #3547
- Added a new type to core :class:`.types.JSON`.  This is the
base of the PostgreSQL :class:`.postgresql.JSON` type as well as that
of the new :class:`.mysql.JSON` type, so that a PG/MySQL-agnostic
JSON column may be used.  The type features basic index and path
searching support.
fixes #3619
- reorganization of migration docs etc. to try to refer both to
the fixes to JSON that helps Postgresql while at the same time
indicating these are new features of the new base JSON type.
- a rework of the Array/Indexable system some more, moving things
that are specific to Array out of Indexable.
- new operators for JSON indexing added to core so that these can
be compiled by the PG and MySQL dialects individually
- rename sqltypes.Array to sqltypes.ARRAY - as there is no generic
Array implementation, this is an uppercase type for now, consistent
with the new sqltypes.JSON type that is also not a generic implementation.
There may need to be some convention change to handle the case of
datatypes that aren't generic, rely upon DB-native implementations,
but aren't necessarily all named the same thing.

- add version switch for backend fsp test

(cherry picked from commit 67b22cee3ab2c17b61100f1ccd69081082c0f074)

- repair the CREATE INDEX ddl for schemas
- update provisioning to include support for setting up ATTACH DATABASE up front
for the test_schema; enable "schemas" testing for SQLite
- changelog / migration notes for new SQLite schema support
- include the "schema" as the "remote_schema" when we reflect SQLite FKs

- new test for json col['x']['y']['z'] seems to fail pre PG 9.4,
fails on comparisons for non-compatible data instead of not matching
- no need to call SpecPredicate(db) directly in exclusion functions,
by using Predicate.as_predicate() the spec strings can have version
comparisons
