methods to the Result object. Also need to rip out the Field object;
ended up not needing it. It's just cruft now.

Notes: NULL values represented by Python None object. fetch_row() returns
None at the end of the query set, which doesn't print. Conversion of data
types will be done in a Python wrapper module. Need to figure out a way
to read a fixed number of rows without having to twiddle with the global
interpreter lock all the time. Not a big problem if store_result() has
been used, but is trickier if use_result() was used.
