Almost done with the DB read code!

Still very early in the life of Freestacks (3 days maybe?) but I feel like I am making good progress on it. The read code for the database is almost done. It's a handful of functions but I'm proud of that. I keep the function count low to hopefully make it easier for others to work on later. I also worked very hard to tackle systemic problems in the database design as I discovered them. Writing the getter functions revealed flaws in the data structures which I could then fix. Through this process I arrived at what I believe is an easy to understand db getter function set and a database design that hope will be fast and allow Freestacks to easily grow to accept new item types. I have a few more getters to write and then it's time for write functions!
