Fix warnings by changing the code whenever possible, in particular remove firebird_rowid_backend class and src/backends/firebird/row-id.cpp file in which it was defined entirely as it only resulted in "unreachable code" warnings but was otherwise unused. Also avoid implicit conversions by either using the correct types or by making the casts explicit using static_cast<> in places where the casts are really needed. Add helpful SOCI_NOT_COPYABLE, SOCI_NOT_ASSIGNABLE and SOCI_UNUSED macros and use them to suppress the corresponding warnings. Finally, combine soci-config.h and soci-platform.h in a single file, always include the latter as the first header and keep the former as a wrapper for the latter just for compatibility. Remove the MSVC "#pragma warning(disable: *)" as they are not needed any more. Closes #355.

Brief History
Originally, SOCI was developed by Maciej Sobczak at CERN as abstraction layer for Oracle, a Simple Oracle Call Interface. Later, several database backends have been developed for SOCI, thus the long name has lost its practicality. Currently, if you like, SOCI may stand for Simple Open (Database) Call Interface or something similar.
"CERN is also a user of the SOCI library, which serves as a database access layer in some of the control system components."
