Bump required SQLite version to 3.15.2 #105875
Description
(Also posted on Discord.)
In January 2021 (mid 3.10 development), Sergey Fodoseev and I raised the compile time (and runtime) SQLite version requirements for the sqlite3 standard library extension module to SQLite 3.7.15 (2012-12-12) or newer (commit cf0b239). That enabled us to clean up the code by getting rid of a lot of preprocessor conditionals and other version specific workarounds.
For Python 3.13 (to be released October 2024), I'll raise the version requirements to either SQLite 3.8.11.1 (2015-07-29), 3.14.2 (2016-09-12), or 3.15.2 (2016-11-28). Preferably the latter.
AFAICS on DistroWatch, we should be fine with any of those SQLite versions, for all major distros1.
Major clean-ups:
- For SQlite 3.8.11.1, I can remove a lot of conditional code related to CTEs and deterministic functions.
- For SQLite 3.14.2 I no longer need to implement two different variants of the trace callback.
- For SQLite 3.15.2, I can remove special handling for legacy deterministic user function behaviour.

Will it be okay to macOS too?
(From my local environment it looks okay)

We bundle SQLite for macOS installers, so it is not a problem.
