Andrew Nicols 3fa0daa90f MDL-47664 phpunit: Do not use sequence number changes for Oracle
When resetting a sequence number, we call change_database_structure()
which in turns clears the MUC cache for databasemeta. This cache contains
information about the table, columns, etc.

After the cache is cleared, it must be re-filled, and it was discovered
that the get_columns() code which fills this cache can take a particularly
long time. Given that this is called for every table in Moodle, this can
add up to a significant period, and this is done on a per-testsuite basis.

On my SSD install this was taking approximately 40 seconds on each re-fill
of the cache.
