feat: unprivileged read-only open of SQLite DB
If the state SQLite database is configured to use a write-ahead-log, it
creates WAL files in the state directory.
When the state SQLite database is closed by the `nix-daemon` after
builds, those files are removed.
When an unprivileged user would like to open _in read only_ that
database, they cannot do so because they would need to create those WAL
files and they do not have the permission to do so.
For this, SQLite offers a "persistent WAL" feature [1] to leave the WAL
files around, even after closing the database.
This CL enable the persistent WAL mode.
