[DX] bring back db_fetch_array() and db_fetch_object()

I personally loved these functions in Drupal 6. It was a clean and simple way to query the database and get back what you wanted in the format you wanted it in. These were removed from Drupal 7 in favor of DBTNG which was a huge hit to developer experience.

Is there any reason we can't add these back as wrapper functions?
