Database: Remove use of strencode() in replaceVars()

Database: Remove use of strencode() in replaceVars()

Almost all known uses of the /*$var*/ syntax are for either the
table prefix or table options, neither of which need string
encoding. Use of that syntax inside strings has been discouraged
for a while anyway.

This is to allow deprecating strencode().

Also changed the method to replace in one pass (to not find
variables inside values of other variables).
