#198856 by hswong3i: Fix some incorrect use of %s for table name escaping, implement better security checks

- Patch 13180 by chx: renamed check_query() to db_escape_string() and implemtented it properly per database backend.

  Read the manual for pg_escape_string:  "Use of this function is recommended instead of addslashes()." Or read sqlite_escape_string: "addslashes() should NOT be used to quote your strings for SQLite queries; it will lead to strange results when retrieving your data."

Tablesort used to output class=" active" for active columns with other properties (align="right"). Now it correctly uses class="foo active" if a class 'foo' was specified, and class="active" otherwise.

- Patch #10663 by JonBob: documentation improvements: fixed some typos and improved consistency to the use of Doxygen/api.module commands in the comments.

- Patch #9663 by jvandyk: the $i counter variable in tablesort_get_order() is unused and should therefore be removed.

- Patch #9657: more intelligent theme() function.  Hopefully, Adrian will be
  able to use this patch too.

- Patch #8603 by TDobes: added support for sticky forum topics to the blog
