[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?

Is this an SELinux issue where you have to also make sure the SELinux permissions are set correctly?
