A utility to generate random test databases.md

Similar to cheater which is written in Perl and Mockaroo which is web based.

Generating random data is not a problem as the faker package is quite nice.

The main task would be to correctly implement the 'SQL-Like little language' from cheater.

Rather than just supporting regexes, we could support all faker data types, like {first_name} for random first names etc. Mocakroo does this.
