Django Custom dbshell prompts

Description

I find it very useful to have dbshell indicate what database I'm working against. The stock dbshell does not indicate the active database, at least in MySQL.

I do not have access to the other databases to test against but I'm sure a similar patch could be made for other backends.

The first version of this patch used DATABASE_OPTIONS that broke connections.py

The dbshell is a fairly minor feature. I don't think it's worth creating another setting, with all the accompanying documentation and maintenance for this purpose. Since it can already be set via .my.cnf or an environment variable, a workaround exists.
