  Forward-port of commit 59184.

  - Backported a workaround for a bug in SQLite 3.2.x/3.3.x versions where a
    statement recompilation with no bound parameters lead to a segfault
  - Backported a fix necessary because of an SQLite API change in version
    3.5.
    This prevents segfaults when executing empty queries, like our test suite
    does

  repr(1eN) for most N... Both in 2.6 and in 3.0...

Removed gc.DEBUG_OBJECT: there is only one kind of objects.

It prevents the XML RPC tests from blocking until the end of the world.
I think it's a backport candidate and other modules may benefit from the feature, too.
