Methods
getConnectors
Get a list of available database connectors. The list will only be populated with connectors that both the class exists and the static test method returns true. This gives us the ability to have a multitude of connector classes that are self-aware as to whether or not they are able to be used on a given system.

getInstance
Method to return a JDatabaseDriver instance based on the given options. There are three global options and then the rest are specific to the database driver. The 'driver' option defines which JDatabaseDriver class is used for the connection -- the default is 'mysqli'. The 'database' option determines which database is to be used for the connection. The 'select' option determines whether the connector should automatically select the chosen database.
getInstance(array $options = array()) : \JDatabaseDriver
Instances are unique to the given options and new objects are only created when a unique options array is passed into the method. This ensures that we don't end up with unnecessary database connection resources.
