DERBY-532 Support deferrable constraints
Patch derby-532-nullableUniqueFix. When we changed the implementation from
special treatment of deferrable constraints in the BTree, a couple of extra
predicates needed to be added were omitted - added those here: we should not
mark the physical index with "uniqueWithDuplicateNulls" if it is deferrable.
This error was found when running the regressions with default deferrable for
all pk and unique constraints.
We also removed an unused flag "hasDeferrableChecking" in the same places (it is
not longer used by the physical index).
Added a new test case, testCompressTable, which tests the
"uniqueWithDuplicateNulls" case.
We also change the behavior in the following way for deferrable, but not
deferred constraints: if we hit a time-out or dead-lock when checking uniqueness
(in the BTree scan), we throw that time-out or dead-lock. Up till now we
converted it to a duplicate exception. We will only assume it can be a duplicate
- for later checking - iff the constraint mode is deferrable.

> In many situations it is desirable to have constraints checking taking place
> only at transaction commit time, and not before. If e.g. there is a chain of
> foreign key constraints between tables, insert statements have to be ordered
> to avoid constraint violations. If foreign key references are circular, the
> DML has to be split into insert statements and subsequent update statements
> by the user.
> In other words, with deferred constraints checking, life is much easier for
> the user. Also it can create problems with softwares such as
> object-relational mapping tools that are not prepared for statement ordering
> and thus depend on deferred constraints checking.
