This makes unique_list approx 2x faster in my (simple) tests

with Firebird, so that the values are again rendered inline when
this is selected.  Related to :ticket:`3034`.
fixes #3381

Fix TypeError: Boolean value of this clause is not defined

applying any topological sort to tables on SQLite.  See the
changelog for details, but we now continue to sort
tables for SQLite on DROP, prohibit the sort from considering
alter, and only warn if we encounter an unresolvable cycle, in
which case, then we forego the ordering.  use_alter as always
is used to break such a cycle.
fixes #3378

:paramref:`.Pool.reset_on_return` parameter as a synonym for ``None``,
so that string values can be used for all settings, allowing
.ini file utilities like :func:`.engine_from_config` to be usable
without issue.
fixes #3375

assign the proper result type of Boolean to the result mapping, and
instead would leak column types from within the query into the
result map.  This issue exists in 0.9 and earlier as well, however
has less of an impact in those versions.  In 1.0, due to #918
this becomes a regression in that we now rely upon the result mapping
to be very accurate, else we can assign result-type processors to
the wrong column.   In all versions, this issue also has the effect
that a simple EXISTS will not apply the Boolean type handler, leading
to simple 1/0 values for backends without native boolean instead of
True/False.   The fix includes that an EXISTS columns argument
will be anon-labeled like other column expressions; a similar fix is
implemented for pure-boolean expressions like ``not_(True())``.
fixes #3372

to transient objects with attributes unset would leak NEVER_SET,
and negated_contains_or_equals would do so for any transient
object as the comparison used only the committed value.
Repaired the NEVER_SET cases, fixes #3371, and also made
negated_contains_or_equals() use state_attr_by_column() just
like a non-negated comparison, fixes #3374

NEVER_SET symbol could easily leak into a lazyload query, subsequent
to the flush of a pending object.  This would occur typically
for a many-to-one relationship that does not use a simple
"get" strategy.   The good news is that the fix improves efficiency
vs. 0.9, because we can now skip the SELECT statement entirely
when we detect NEVER_SET symbols present in the parameters; prior to
:ticket:`3061`, we couldn't discern if the None here were set or not.
