sqlite async API

[ronag]

Provide an async API to our sqlite bindings. In order to avoid blocking the event loop on lookups that require IO.

@ronag can you add "why" to the issue? (You can copy it from the original discussion).

Hey, @ronag . To make this happen, Would there be a DatabaseAsync - in contrast to the DatabaseSync - class?

This doesn't make so much sense. I think it would be better to have Database just like fs that has someFunction and someFunctionSync.

Just FYI, this appears to be the stance of better-sqlite3 on the topic - https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3/blob/HEAD/docs/threads.md.
