pre-connection callbacks and API breakage

Hi all,
I've fixed the problem of not being able to receive msg and error
callbacks prior to returning from tds_connect(), however the libtds API
was broken in the following ways to accomplish this.
. tds_connect() now takes a second parameter of 'parent' (ie dbproc).
. The call to tds_set_parent() is removed (although it doesn't hurt if it
is called repeatedly)
. Message handler functions in the CLIs are now passed the TDSSOCKET
structure and *not* the parent. The parent can then be referenced
and cast via tds->parent.
What this means in english is that you'll get a 'Login Failed' message
when trying to login with incorrect user/pass. Always handy.
We generally try not to break the libtds API because a few third party
projects depend on it, but in this case it was a necessary evil.
Cheers,
Brian
