Update sqlite-jdbc to 3.46

[segiddins]

JAR from https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/releases/tag/3.46.0.0

[segiddins]

@headius this is needed to be able to use newer SQLite features that are available in cruby from the sqlite3 gem

[headius]

Great, thanks! We will merge and get a release out soon.

[headius]

@enebo @kares maybe you can release this week while I'm traveling?

[enebo]

I will likely find time this week. In process of packing/cleaning so it is just dependent on that.

Whoops. I should have looked at the run results (which in turn is a problem with a pretty red CI) to notice this version of sqlite3 depends on slf4j-api + transitive deps.

xerial/sqlite-jdbc@21c77a4

It appears since 3.28 a lot of deps have been added (although I am not sure how many are actually needed for runtime from this page): https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.xerial/sqlite-jdbc/3.40.0.0/dependencies

We probably need to vendor these but at the same time I expect we will see errors due to loading this in mixed environments.

Ugh.

We probably need to vendor these

If it comes to that I think we'd rather start using jar-dependencies to fetch them, so we're not shipping our own copies of these jar files.

I will also make the case to xerial/sqlite-jdbc that adding these dependencies is a major nuisance.

[headius]

It looks like this concern was already raised by two others: xerial/sqlite-jdbc#1094

I have added some fuel to that fire.

[segiddins]

Given this was reverted, is there another ticket now tracking the sqlite version update?

[headius]

@segiddins I have poked the issue again, but have no idea if they'll be receptive.

@enebo We may be forced to fork the project just to remove the dependency. We'd continue to merge but have our own release that just removes slf4j. I don't want to do it any more than you do!

[headius]

It looks like we'll be able to get this patched in sqlite-jdbc once we get a patch to them that makes the sl4fj dependency optional. 🎉

I've asked another interested party if they could modify their slf4j removal patch to make it optional instead. If they don't do it I will.

[headius]

I have pushed xerial/sqlite-jdbc#1178 to make slf4j optional. Just need to get the maintainers to merge it and release now.
