core: backend autoconnection: A new Connection/autoconnect_backend param can be set for a profile or component to be started automatically with backend. This is specially useful for components, but can be useful for client profile too (e.g. on Android we need to start profile with backend to get notifications, this part will come with following commits). The new Sqlite.getIndParamValues method allows to retrieve the same parameters for all profiles.
