Fix DBMS name/version reporting fallback and resume detection

Format.getDbms() now falls back to conf.dbms (and Backend.getDbms()
falls back to conf.dbms as well) when kb.dbms isn't set yet, so a
version-only result no longer drops the DBMS name or prints "None".
_resumeDBMS() in target.py now also sets Backend's DBMS/version when
resuming a session where the DBMS wasn't previously fingerprinted.
Also simplifies several option.py helpers (non-SQL technique lookup,
tamper priority validation, kb.chars/multibit setup) and adds unit
tests for the getDbms() fallback behavior.
