[Dbix-class] info from DBI::column_info to $class->_columns}

[Zbigniew Lukasiak]

The svn diff is attached.
Problems:

1) Because SQLite (and perhaps other databases) dont implement
column_info I used the technique from CDBI - a SELECT selecting no
rows.

2)  I created the storage column_info_for method but storage is not
available in the setup phase.  Anyway I think it should not be called
for all columns at setup - because this information is needed only
ocassionally - I propose to make the column_info method to call the
storage column_info_for method and not use the _column class member.
