Give SQLite several connections, so requests are answered at once (#136)

SeaORM gives a SQLite pool one connection unless told otherwise, and connect() did not say, so
every request, every scan write and every read went through it in turn. Twenty-five people
browsing in the load tests (#133) got 50 requests a second out of 12 cores, the fastest answers
in 3-30ms and the medians ten times that.

SQLite now gets eight. In WAL readers run beside the one writer. Every transaction here writes
first, so it takes the write lock or waits out the busy timeout for it; SQLite refuses at once
only a transaction holding a snapshot a write has moved past, and none here does. Db::memory
switches its file to WAL too, as Db::open does, so the tests share it as the daemon does. A test
holds a write open and reads beside it, and fails with one connection.

The same browsing: a feed's items at p95 10ms where it was 133, a search 22 where 119, the feed
list 89 where 242. The load tests' SQLite budgets are tightened to match; the Rust tests take
2.8s where they took 7.5.
