Add max_identifier_length parameter; warn for Oracle
Added new :func:`.create_engine` parameter
:paramref:`.create_engine.max_identifier_length`. This overrides the
dialect-coded "max identifier length" in order to accommodate for databases
that have recently changed this length and the SQLAlchemy dialect has
not yet been adjusted to detect for that version. This parameter interacts
with the existing :paramref:`.create_engine.label_length` parameter in that
it establishes the maximum (and default) value for anonymously generated
labels.
The Oracle dialect now emits a warning if Oracle version 12.2 or greater is
used, and the :paramref:`.create_engine.max_identifier_length` parameter is
not set. The version in this specific case defaults to that of the
"compatibility" version set in the Oracle server configuration, not the
actual server version. In version 1.4, the default max_identifier_length
for 12.2 or greater will move to 128 characters. In order to maintain
forwards compatibility, applications should set
:paramref:`.create_engine.max_identifier_length` to 30 in order to maintain
the same length behavior, or to 128 in order to test the upcoming behavior.
This length determines among other things how generated constraint names
are truncated for statements like ``CREATE CONSTRAINT`` and ``DROP
CONSTRAINT``, which means a the new length may produce a name-mismatch
against a name that was generated with the old length, impacting database
migrations.

Label simple column transformations as the column name
Additional logic has been added such that certain SQL expressions which
typically wrap a single database column will use the name of that column as
their "anonymous label" name within a SELECT statement, potentially making
key-based lookups in result tuples more intutive. The primary example of
this is that of a CAST expression, e.g. ``CAST(table.colname AS INTEGER)``,
which will export its default name as "colname", rather than the usual
"anon_1" label, that is, ``CAST(table.colname AS INTEGER) AS colname``.
If the inner expression doesn't have a name, then the previous "anonymous
label" logic is used. When using SELECT statements that make use of
:meth:`.Select.apply_labels`, such as those emitted by the ORM, the
labeling logic will produce ``<tablename>_<inner column name>`` in the same
was as if the column were named alone. The logic applies right now to the

:meth:`.Engine.table_names`, :meth:`.Engine.has_table`. The utility
methods are superseded by modern context-manager patterns, and the table
introspection tasks are suited by the :class:`.Inspector` object.
- The internal dialect method ``Dialect.reflecttable`` has been removed. A
review of third party dialects has not found any making use of this method,
as it was already documented as one that should not be used by external
dialects. Additionally, the private ``Engine._run_visitor`` method
is also removed.
- The long-deprecated ``Inspector.get_table_names.order_by`` parameter has
been removed.
- The :paramref:`.Table.autoload_with` parameter now accepts an :class:`.Inspector` object
directly, as well as any :class:`.Engine` or :class:`.Connection` as was the case before.

Strong reference listen function wrapped by "once"
Fixed issue in event system where using the ``once=True`` flag with
dynamically generated listener functions would cause event registration of
future events to fail if those listener functions were garbage collected
after they were used, due to an assumption that a listened function is
strongly referenced. The "once" wrapped is now modified to strongly
reference the inner function persistently, and documentation is updated
that using "once" does not imply automatic de-registration of listener
functions.
