public function DatabaseConnection::prepare

Provides a pass-through to the PDO prepare method.

In adding support for PHP 8, the Backdrop DatabaseConnection no longer directly extends the PHP PDO object. A side-effect is that calls to PDO methods no longer worked. This provides a pass-through to this method specifically for compatibility with previous versions of Backdrop. See https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/5094.
