Drops all calls to PHP utility functions. nominatim cli functions
are used where possible, to stay as close to the final code as
possible with the tests.
By removing the PHP calls, the test code now only uses osm2pgsql and
the database module from the build directory.
Introduces a new class DBRow that encapsulates the comparison
functions. This also is responsible for formatting more informative
assert messages. place and placex steps are unified.
Put the connection to the test database into auto-commit mode
and get rid of the explicit commits. Also use cursors always in
context managers and unify the two implementations that copy
data from the place table.
