Add example for MS SQL Server

Reasons

Running MS SQL Server is a bit tricky in CircleCI. I want to share the build script worked out to save time for other devs.
Doing tests with MS SQL Server appears to be a common tasks, and I did not find anything functional in the CircleCI documentation.

Hi @jbauerrfid, thanks for taking the time to make this example project, but we unfortunately cannot include examples in our docs that rely on community orbs like cobli/[email protected] since we have no control over the maintenance or security of them.

Hi @devinmarieb
I have updated the PR and replaced the ORB reference.
I would also propose to update your https://github.com/circleci/circleci-docs/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md and add clarification about third party code like ORBs.

@jbauerrfid Thanks! Sorry for the delay. We've actually been having larger conversations around the best way to include projects like the one you originally proposed, where we can't include them in the official docs, but maybe we can have a new section for projects that use third party stuff. I appreciate the effort! We haven't forgotten about this :)

Hi @devinmarieb

CircleCI is pretty quick at responding to contributions. I have open request on other OSS projects, where I wait for months or get no response from the maintainers at all.

So when you want to reorganize third party contributions it is ok for me.

@jbauerrfid Thanks! I'm going to keep this PR open until we make a final decision on what to do with projects that use third party tools. These example projects people suggest are very useful for others in similar situations, but we just don't have a good way of including them in our current structure. It's possible you will see it merged or a request for changes in a few months time :) Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi @devinmarieb
did you see that I replaced the ORB code in my PR?

[devinmarieb]

@jbauerrfid yes I did :) There's actually further internal discussion on this whole page in general now which is why I haven't merged yet.

We need to re-review this. @circleci/dre
