#2590: Use Alembic instead of SQLAlchemy-Migrate

-------------------------+----------------------
 Migrate has some compatibility problems - in particular, it doesn't work
 with SQLAlchemy >= 8.0.  Its API is a little unpredictable, too, and it
 doesn't do a very good job of masking differences between dialects.  Its
 linear numbering scheme is also problematic when developing on topic
 branches, as a merge of branches with overlapping DB version numbers will
 need some substantial changes to put them in linear order.

 Alembic seems to be the fix to all that, although that's as far as we've
 gotten.

 This would make a decent, if small, Google Summer of Code project.
