db: implement SQLite STRICT tables and security hardening
Activates SQLite STRICT tables when developer mode is enabled and SQLite version >= 3.37.0. STRICT tables enforce type constraints, preventing silent data corruption. Features: - Automatic type conversion (VARCHAR→TEXT, BIGINT→INTEGER, BIGSERIAL→INTEGER, INT→INTEGER) for Core Lightning compatibility - Word boundary detection to prevent column name corruption - Enhanced security PRAGMAs: trusted_schema=OFF, cell_size_check=ON, secure_delete=ON - Named constants for magic numbers (BUFFER_SAFETY_MARGIN, MAX_PAREN_SEARCH_DISTANCE) Tests verify type enforcement, conversions, and edge cases. Changelog-Added: Database layer now supports SQLite STRICT tables for enhanced type safety in developer mode
