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.

-## restoring on another machine
-
-Restoring on a host that never ran the backup — a replacement machine
-after the original is gone — is the case vaultik is built for. That host
-needs only three things: the `vaultik` binary, the age **private** key,
-and the storage credentials for the destination. It does **not** need the
-local index, the original config file, or the original hostname.
-
-```sh
-# install
-go install sneak.berlin/go/vaultik/cmd/vaultik@latest
-
-# create a config and point it at the ORIGINAL backup destination
-vaultik config init
-vaultik config set storage_url "s3://bucket/prefix?endpoint=https://s3.example.com"
-vaultik config set s3.access_key_id "..."
-vaultik config set s3.secret_access_key "..."
-
-# see what is on the destination store
-vaultik snapshot list
-```
-
-`snapshot list` reads the destination store without the private key. A
-snapshot that is not in this host's (empty) local index is shown as
-remote-only: its row is identified by `<remote only:...>` rather than by
-a `hostname_name_timestamp` name, because the name lives only in the
-local index and the encrypted database and cannot be recovered from the
-store. Its timestamp and compressed size are real. (See the `snapshot
-list` description under [command details](#command-details) for the full
-explanation.)
-
-Use that remote key — the hex printed inside `<remote only:...>`, or the
-full `remote_key` from `snapshot list --json` — to restore and verify:
-
-```sh
-# restore everything to /tmp/restored, then check every restored file's
-# chunk hashes
-VAULTIK_AGE_SECRET_KEY='AGE-SECRET-KEY-...' \
-  vaultik snapshot restore --verify <remote-key> /tmp/restored
-
-# optionally, deep-verify the snapshot against the store (downloads and
-# cryptographically checks every blob)
-VAULTIK_AGE_SECRET_KEY='AGE-SECRET-KEY-...' \
-  vaultik snapshot verify --deep <remote-key>
-```
-
-`age_recipients` (the public key) is not needed to restore — only the
-private key in `VAULTIK_AGE_SECRET_KEY`. Both the abbreviated key printed
-in the table and the full 64-character key from `--json` are accepted; a
-leading part of the key is enough as long as it is unambiguous.

 Vaultik uses a local SQLite database to track file metadata, chunk mappings, and blob associations during the backup process. This database serves as an index for incremental backups and enables efficient deduplication.
 
 **Important Notes:**
-
-This section is the authoritative explanation of the schema/migration story;
-other documents (the README and `AGENTS.md`) link here.
-
-- **No upgrade path between versions (pre-1.0)**: Vaultik has no supported way to
-  carry an existing local index across a schema change. The index is disposable
-  — if the on-disk schema changes between versions, delete the local SQLite
-  database (`vaultik database delete`) and run a full backup. Remote storage is
-  unaffected; the new index re-deduplicates against existing remote blobs. This
-  is the standing project policy, and it is separate from the schema bootstrap
-  described next.
-- **Schema bootstrap**: a fresh database is populated from numbered SQL files
-  embedded in the binary under `internal/database/schema/`. `000.sql` creates the
-  `schema_migrations` table; `001.sql` creates the application tables. On opening
-  a database the code applies each numbered file that has not yet run and records
-  its version in `schema_migrations`. This bootstraps a new database; it does not
-  upgrade an existing one between released versions.
-- **Changing the schema (pre-1.0)**: edit `internal/database/schema/001.sql` (and
-  the code that touches the affected tables) directly. Do not add new numbered
-  files — there is no installed base to migrate.
-- **Disposability expires at 1.0**: the index is treated as disposable only until
-  1.0 ships and is tagged. Once 1.0 is tagged that clause expires and the
-  question of upgrading existing indexes returns. It is deliberately left open
-  here.

   - Snapshot name from the configured `snapshots:` map (optional)

-This ID reveals the hostname, the configured snapshot name, and the backup time, so it is never used as the on-disk directory name — the remote key is used instead.
-
-### Remote Key Derivation
-
-The remote key is `hex(SHA256(SHA256("vaultik|" + snapshot-id)))`: a double SHA-256 over the snapshot ID, with a `vaultik|` domain-separation prefix. The result is a 64-character hex string with no structure a remote observer can reverse. Implemented in `internal/snapshot/remotekey.go`.
-
-Worked example:
-- Snapshot ID: `server1_home_2025-06-01T12:00:00Z`
-- Remote key: `17f97bcde958748af076b926af59823943db59e80ce7170b40f124dfa28f64aa`

-From the unencrypted data, an observer of the destination store can determine:
-- **When each backup was taken** — not from the directory name, which is a one-way hash, but from the plaintext `timestamp` field in manifest.json.zst, which is published in the clear
-- How many blobs each snapshot references, and the total compressed size
-- The compressed size of each blob, and which blobs are shared between snapshots (deduplication patterns)
-
-Together these give an observer a timing-and-size profile of every snapshot. This is an accepted, documented property of the format, not a defect: the manifest is unencrypted so that pruning can run without the private key, and the timing channel could not be closed by encrypting it anyway — object creation times and per-object sizes stay visible at the storage layer on both `s3://` and `file://` destinations regardless.
