core: Add new DB methods that do not prepare statements.
```
VAULT-5827 Don't prepare SQL queries before executing them (#15166) VAULT-5827 Don't prepare SQL queries before executing them We don't support proper prepared statements, i.e., preparing once and executing many times since we do our own templating. So preparing our queries does not really accomplish anything, and can have severe performance impacts (see https://github.com/hashicorp/vault-plugin-database-snowflake/issues/13 for example). This behavior seems to have been copy-pasted for many years but not for any particular reason that we have been able to find. First use was in https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/15 So here we switch to new methods suffixed with `Direct` to indicate that they don't `Prepare` before running `Exec`, and switch everything here to use those. We maintain the older methods with the existing behavior (with `Prepare`) for backwards compatibility. 2022-04-26 19:47:06 +00:00			```release-note:improvement
