Per wikitech-l discussion: it would be nice if the various DBMSs we support kept all of their docs in one place. So make a place and move two already existing READMEs there. Add some info to /docs/database.txt about this as well. Postgres, Oracle, Mssql need to add some info kthnx :)

Supported DBMSs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MediaWiki is written primarily for use with MySQL. Queries are optimized
for it and its schema is considered the canonical version. However,
MediaWiki does support the following other DBMSs to varying degrees.
* PostgreSQL
* SQLite
* Oracle
* IBM DB2
* MSSQL
More information can be found about each of these databases (known issues,
level of support, extra configuration) in the "databases" subdirectory in
this folder.
