/// @brief Config Backend selector.
///
/// Each Kea server using database as a configuration respository
/// may use multiple configuration backends simultaneously. The most
/// typical case is to use a single configuration backend per server,
/// but there are use cases when configuration information is distributed
/// accross multiple database instances. In the future, there may be
/// also caching mechanisms implemented, which will allow for storing
/// results of certain database queries in memory.
///
/// From the server perspective, the most common use of the configuration
/// backend is to fetch entire configuration information from the
/// databases (upon startup) or fetch the latest updates to the
/// configuration, e.g. new subnet added, DHCP option modified etc.
/// In those cases, it is not so important from the server which backend
/// this data come from. Therefore, the server would fetch this information
/// from all available backends.
///
/// When the server administrator wants to insert some new data into
/// the database, modify existing data or simply wants to check the
/// contents of one of the database instance, he would specify which
/// database backend he wants to direct queries to.
///
/// The @c BackendSelector class provides means to specify whether
/// the queries should be directed to any backend (see server case
/// above) or to a specific backend (data insertion case above).
/// In addition, the @c BackendSelector allows for using various
/// criteria for selecting a backend to use. Currently those criteria
/// are: database type (e.g. mysql), database host and database port.
/// In order to use a specific port, the database host must also be
/// specified. Note that in a general case multiple backends of the
/// same type can be used simultaneously, e.g. multiple MySQL backends.
/// In that case, it may be necessary to specify host (and port) to
/// issue a query to the right one.
///
/// The @c BackendSelector class may be extended in the future to provide
/// additional backend selection criteria.
