           Summary: $wgSharedDB PostgreSQL support

PG doesn't do cross database queries which breaks the easy route of sharing
login data across wikis.

So, in a brief flash of insanity, a modification of the typical wikifarm setup.
 Single database, but different schema.  Still use public for tsearch2 et al,
but instead of having just mediawiki for the lone wiki schema, have multiple
schemas.

So if the DB backend is PG, IMO it should treat $wgSharedDB as $wgSharedSchema.

Haven't thought much past that wrt search_path. But AFAIK if the PG DB driver
was modified to explicitly use schemas when referring to tables it shouldn't
matter what the search path is set to.
