This provides access to a SQLite database that is used to store the wallet records. To keep compatibility with BDB and to complexity of the change down, we don't make use of many SQLite's features. We use it strictly as a key-value store. We create a table `main` which has two columns, `key` and `value` both with the type `blob`. For new descriptor wallets, we will create a `SQLiteDatabase` instead of a `BerkeleyDatabase`. There is no requirement that all SQLite wallets are descriptor wallets, nor is there a requirement that all descriptor wallets be SQLite wallets. This allows for existing descriptor wallets to work as well as keeping open the option to migrate existing wallets to SQLite. We keep the name `wallet.dat` for SQLite wallets. We are able to determine which database type to use by searching for specific magic bytes in the `wallet.dat` file. SQLite begins it's files with a null terminated string `SQLite format 3`. BDB has `0x00053162` at byte 12 (note that the byte order of this integer depends on the system endianness). So when we see that there is a `wallet.dat` file that we want to open, we check for the magic bytes to determine which database system to use. I decided to keep the `wallet.dat` naming to keep things like backup script to continue to function as they won't need to be modified to look for a different file name. It also simplifies a couple of things in the implementation and the tests as `wallet.dat` is something that is specifically being looked for. If we don't want this behavior, then I do have another branch which creates `wallet.sqlite` files instead, but I find that this direction is easier.

I am honestly confused about reasons for locking into `wallet.dat` again when it's so easy now to use a clean format. I assume I'm just very dense, or there's some unstated reason, because the only thing that's been brought up are unrealistic compatibility scenarios (all require actively creating a wallet with non-default descriptor+sqlite option, then trying to using the descriptor+sqlite wallets with old software or scripts and ignoring the results) that we didn't pay attention to with previous PRs like #11687, which did not require any active interfaction. jonatack: ACK c4a29d0a90b821c443c10891d9326c534d15cf97, debug builds and test runs after rebase to latest master @ c2c4dbaebd9, some manual testing creating, using, unloading and reloading a few different new sqlite descriptor wallets over several node restarts/shutdowns.
