Summary: insert on duplicate key update function for db, mysql

Initial Comment:
Hello,

The current replace function replaces a row in the db, if it exists. Prior to the insertion the old row is deleted. 

For some situations a function that uses the INSERT, ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE call, thus preserving old data that is not overwritten, is very convenient. We're using this function a lot in our modules. 
This attached patch implements suchs a function, so called  "insert_update". It adds the some code to the db interface, and the mysql module. 

I know this syntax is a MySQL extension that is not present in PostgreSQL. But it is of course possible to implemented a similar feature with some SQL statements there.

Regards,

Henning

I rework the patch for svn trunk after the last_inserted_id addition.
This applies now cleanly to the repository again.

In my opionion this is a useful contribution to openser, any comments on
this?

Best regards,

Henning
