Engine12 is the actual database engine, so without Engine12 in the
firebird.conf of the Firebird server, Firebird has no database engine
and so cannot connect.

Using `Providers = Loopback` or `Providers = Remote` or `Providers =
Loopback, Remote` only makes sense for the `firebird.conf` of an
isolated client library.
