An update that contains one feature and has two fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for unixODBC fixes the following issues:

  * Update requires and baselibs for new libodbc2.

  * Employ shared library packaging guideline: new subpacakge libodbc2.
    mariadb's ha_connect.so wants this library, but a unixODBC's Recommends line
    would awkwardly pull in psqlODBC by default.

  * Update to 2.3.9:

  * Remove "#define UNIXODBC_SOURCE" from unixodbc_conf.h

  * Update to 2.3.8:

  * Add configure support for editline
  * SQLDriversW was ignoring user config
  * SQLDataSources Fix termination character
  * Fix for pooling seg fault
  * Make calling SQLSetStmtAttrW call the W function in the driver is its there
  * Try and fix race condition clearing system odbc.ini file
  * Remove trailing space from isql/iusql SQL
  * When setting connection attributes set before connect also check if the W
    entry poins can be used
  * Try calling the W error functions first if available in the driver
  * Add iconvperdriver configure option to allow calling unicode_setup in
    SQLAllocHandle
  * iconv handles was being lost when reusing pooled connection
  * Catch null copy in iniPropertyInsert
  * Fix a few leaks
  * Remove unixODBC-2.3.7-warning-cleanup.patch: upstreamed

  * Update to 2.3.7:

  * Fix for pkg-config file update on no linux platforms
  * Add W entry for GUI work
  * Various fixes for SQLBrowseConnect/W, SQLGetConnectAttr/W,and
    SQLSetConnectAttr/W
  * Fix buffer overflows in SQLConnect/W and refine behaviour of
    SQLGet/WritePrivateProfileString
  * SQLBrowseConnect/W allow disconnecting a started browse session after error
  * Add --with-stats-ftok-name configure option to allow the selection of a file
    name used to generate the IPC id when collecting stats. Default is the
    system odbc.ini file
  * Improve diag record handling with the behavior of Windows DM and export
    SQLCancelHandle
  * bug fix when SQLGetPrivateProfileString() is called to get a list of
    sections or a list of keys
  * Connection pooling: Fix liveness check for Unicode drivers
  * Add unixODBC-2.3.7-warning-cleanup.patch: 2.3.7 a 64bit protability error
    See https://github.com/lurcher/unixODBC/issues/18

  * bsc#1062860: Recommend psqlODBC to stay feature complete

  * bsc#1062860: Don't install postgres example driver psqlODBC package should
    be used instead of the example driver provided by unixODBC (libodbcpsql.*).
    It is unmaintained.

  * Enabled --enable-fastvalidate option in configure (bsc#1044970)
