The CI has been running tests with this pure-Go SQLite driver for over two years now and no known issue has been identified.

The use of github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 requires CGO which prevents us from cross-compile more release archives, and making the release process very cumbersome and easily outdated.

Before the switch over, we need to do a sanity test on SQLite file compatibility, i.e. create the SQLite file with github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 and continue use with modernc.org/sqlite.

Ideally also backport to 0.13.
