During server initialization, establish a connection with the database,
check whether the database schema version is supported, and close the
connection once the server is closing.

This commit also introduces a new section to the configuration file,
`database'.  It allows administrators to define the database server host
and credentials that should be used by the server.

The database schema is not yet being created, the server merely checks
whether the schema table exists, and whether the current database schema
version matches that of the server implementation.  If the database
connection fails, then the server panics.

Additionally, even though some code to close the database connection was
added to the server, it is technically never reached, as the server runs
forever.  However, it's still handy to implement this once graceful
shutdown support is implemented.
