This changes the files table to use normalisation for the names and
versions. The idea is that these are often common between all remote
devices, and repeating an integer is more efficient than repeating a
long string. A new benchmark bears this out; for a database with 100k
files shared between 31 devices, with some worst case assumption on
version vector size, the database is reduced in size by 50% and the test
finishes quicker:
Current:
db_bench_test.go:322: Total size: 6263.70 MiB
--- PASS: TestBenchmarkSizeManyFilesRemotes (1084.89s)
New:
db_bench_test.go:326: Total size: 3049.95 MiB
--- PASS: TestBenchmarkSizeManyFilesRemotes (776.97s)
The other benchmarks end up about the same within the margin of
variability, with one possible exception being that RemoteNeed seems to
be a little slower on average:
old files/s new files/s
Update/n=RemoteNeed/size=1000-8 5.051k 4.654k
Update/n=RemoteNeed/size=2000-8 5.201k 4.384k
Update/n=RemoteNeed/size=4000-8 4.943k 4.242k
Update/n=RemoteNeed/size=8000-8 5.099k 3.527k
Update/n=RemoteNeed/size=16000-8 3.686k 3.847k
Update/n=RemoteNeed/size=30000-8 4.456k 3.482k
I'm not sure why, possibly that query can be optimised anyhow.

No migration on this as it has no practical impact, just a slight
cleanup for new installations.
Also a refactor of how we declare single column primary keys, for
consistency.

This just removes an unnecessary foreign key constraint, where we
already do the garbage collection manually in the database service.
However, as part of getting here I tried a couple of other variants
along the way:
- Changing the order of the primary key from `(hash, blocklist_hash,
idx)` to `(blocklist_hash, idx, hash)` so that inserts would be
naturally ordered. However this requires a new index `on blocks (hash)`
so that we can still look up blocks by hash, and turns out to be
strictly worse than what we already have.
- Removing the primary key entirely and the `WITHOUT ROWID` to make it a
rowid table without any required order, and an index as above. This is
faster when the table is small, but becomes slower when it's large (due
to dual indexes I guess).
These are the benchmark results from current `main`, the second
alternative below ("Index(hash)") and this proposal that retains the
combined primary key ("combined"). Overall it ends up being about 65%
faster.

Ref #10264
This changes the database structure to use one database per folder, with
a small main database to coordinate. Reverts the prior change to buffer
all files in memory when pulling, meaning there is now a phase where the
WAL file will grow significantly, at least for initial sync of folders
with many directories.

Switch the database from LevelDB to SQLite, for greater stability and
simpler code.
