Patch includes database update adding 2 new fields to the saved_sql table.

1) Checked that adding/deleting/editing of sql reports still works and new
fields are correctly saved to the database.

2) The saved reports page now lists the new fields correctly.

3) Checking URLs with JSON output
- if report is not public http://localhost/cgi-bin/koha/svc/report?id=2 fails,
but http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/svc/report?id=2 works
- if report is public, both links work

4) Checking results are cached
Created a report listing my borrowers, setting caching to 60 seconds and
added new borrowers before doing following tests.
- URL doesn't show new borrower immediately - correct
- Turning off the usecache system preference updates data - correct
- Restarting memcached updates data '/etc/init.d/memcached restart' - correct
- Waiting until cache time runs out updates data - correct

Retested the feature and renewing my sign-off.

There are some things that should be noted:
- currently there is a hardcoded limit of 10 results for the reports webservice
- reports with runtime parameters are currently not supported
