inytar d12b37f90e Allow delete where clause to refer multiple tables.
Implemented "DELETE..FROM" syntax for Postgresql, MySQL, MS SQL Server
(as well as within the unsupported Sybase dialect) in a manner similar
to how "UPDATE..FROM" works.  A DELETE statement that refers to more than
one table will switch into "multi-table" mode and render the appropriate
"USING" or multi-table "FROM" clause as understood by the database.

Mike Bayer 55eacc8dbe - Fixed bug where :meth:.Table.update and :meth:.Table.delete
would produce an empty WHERE clause when an empty :func:`.and_()`
or :func:`.or_()` or other blank expression were applied.  This is
now consistent with that of :func:`.select`.
