New version of the /usr/bin/sql file

Currently, if we use a database not described in /usr/bin/sql script (like "ptwiki"), the script calls itself in a way that prevents the use of wildcards (*) as parameter.

So running queries like

  sql ptwiki 'select * from revision limit 1'

does not work, while

  sql ptwiki_p 'select * from revision limit 1'
  sql ptwiki 'select rev_id from revision limit 1'

work.

I made some changes to the file, and attached to this bug.  I think it is safe to replace it.

This new version solves the problem (changing ${*:2} to "${@:2}" is enough), but also allows the user to pass filenames as parameter.

So

  sql ptwiki 'filename.sql'

will also work.
