NEW: Downgrade MSSQL from commercially supported to community supported

As of SS4 I recommend that we clarify the level of support we provide
for MSSQL. The testing coverage of MSSQL and production use of it in
systems supported by the core team both seems very low.

MSSQL support was a lot more important in a pre-cloud-hosting world, but
these days our recommendation is to run SilverStripe on a stack that its
designed to work with rather than trying to fit it into your existing
hosting infrastructure.
