#158: include and require with dirname when using relative paths

If you imagine a file requiring files that themselves require other files,
you get a tree of requires. The path is always relative to the root of
that tree!
This is the reason why we need absolute paths, enable by
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . "/relative_path_to_file");
for example
require_once(dirname(__FILE__)."/../http/php/database-pgsql.php");
In a standard Mapbender installation, not using "dirname" will do no harm,
but in complex projects with weird folder structure, it will.
