[server] drop system_source_cnx for a simpler internal API
system_source_cnx() can be replaced with source_cnx().
If system_source_cnx() is called with dbms_system_base=False, it is
strictly equivalent to calling source_cnx() with the same source,
privileges and interactivity.
If system_source_cnx() is called with dbms_system_base=True, it is
equivalent to calling source_cnx() with the system database and the
same source, privileges and interactivity.
No use of the default value for 'special_privs' was found in the code.

|cubicweb| - The Semantic Web is a construction game!
=====================================================
|cubicweb| is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL,
that empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing
components (called `cubes`) and following the well known object-oriented design
principles.
Main Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* an engine driven by the explicit :ref:`data model
<TutosBaseCustomizingTheApplicationDataModel>` of the application,
* a query language named :ref:`RQL <RQL>` similar to W3C's SPARQL,
* a :ref:`selection+view <TutosBaseCustomizingTheApplicationCustomViews>`
mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation,
* a library of reusable :ref:`components <Cube>` (data model and views) that
fulfill common needs,
* the power and flexibility of the Python_ programming language,
* the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories and Mercurial
for storage backends.
Built since 2000 from an R&D effort still continued, supporting 100,000s of
daily visits at some production sites, |cubicweb| is a proven end to end solution
for semantic web application development that promotes quality, reusability and
efficiency.
QuickStart
~~~~~~~~~~
The impatient developer will move right away to :ref:`SetUpEnv` then to :ref:`ConfigEnv`.
