According to PEP 249, cursor.description must be
available for any SELECT statements, such as those
that use CTEs.

Additional test cases added by me.

They are not used as base classes by another tests so they
can safely be removed.

Update current tests that use old pattern with assertRaises
to make them more maintainable.

Issue #13773: sqlite3.connect() gets a new `uri` parameter to pass the filename as a URI, allowing to pass custom options.

With '%', non-ascii worked because the '%' automatically got promoted to
unicode.  With format that doesn't happen, which led to encoding errors.  This
fix goes back to using %, and adds a test to make sure non-ascii string values
work in iterdump.

Although there is not a regression in Python2, we make the same update here to
keep the code bases in sync.

(The fix for issue 9750 introduced a regression in Python 3 by sorting the row
objects returned by fetchall.  But if a row_factory such as sqlite3.Row is
used, the rows may not be sortable (in Python3), which leads to an exception.
The sorting is still a nice idea, so the patch moves the sort into the sql.)
