VACUUM snapshot metadata through the sqlite driver, not a CLI (closes #120)

snapshot create vacuumed the exported metadata database by shelling out
to a sqlite3 binary, so a backup failed at the very end on any host
without that CLI. vacuumDatabase now opens the database with the
modernc.org/sqlite driver and runs VACUUM through it, outside any
transaction; internal/snapshot no longer imports os/exec. The database
opens in WAL mode, so the close after VACUUM checkpoints the rewrite
into the main file that is compressed and uploaded. A new test deletes
marked rows, vacuums, and asserts the file shrank and no longer holds
the deleted bytes. script/bootstrap and the Dockerfile stop installing
the CLI in both the test-build and the shipped runtime stage, so the
image no longer carries the dependency this change removes.

+- 2026-09-21: Made `snapshot create` VACUUM the per-snapshot metadata
+  database through the `modernc.org/sqlite` driver instead of shelling
+  out to the external `sqlite` command-line binary (issue #120). A
+  backup no longer needs that binary on `PATH`, so `make check` passes
+  on a stock `go install` host; `script/bootstrap` and the `Dockerfile`
+  (both the test-build and the shipped runtime stage) no longer install
+  it, and a new test asserts the uploaded database keeps no pages from
+  deleted rows. Dropped the now-false note on the 2026-08-07 entry below
