Description
### What feature or improvement would you like to see?
Modern SQLite offers an option to enforce schema stability. Should this be the default for adbcsqlite?
We're running into DBItest problems: creating an empty table doesn't result in the correct schema when queried.
``` r
library(adbi)
con <- dbConnect(adbi("adbcsqlite"))
data <- data.frame(a = "data")
ptype <- data[0, , drop = FALSE]
dbCreateTable(con, "test", ptype)
waldo::compare(dbReadTable(con, "test"), ptype)
#> `old$a` is an S3 object of class , a double vector
#> `new$a` is a character vector ()
```

Research direction
Reproduce the R example using adbi("adbcsqlite"), dbCreateTable(), and dbReadTable(), then inspect the adbcsqlite implementation and its SQLite schema-stability settings. Compare the returned empty-table schema with the requested ptype and run the relevant DBItest checks; done means the behavior is correct and the default-setting decision is documented or implemented.
