Description:
The pointer passed to SQLDriverConnect() to retrieve the output connection string length
is one greater than it should be due to inclusion of the NULL terminator.

How to repeat:
Call SQLDriverConnect() and check the output length reported from the driver vs. the
actual length of the string.

COLUMN_SIZE was still the wrong value for Access, even when FLAG_NO_BIGINT was set
