Description

From [the spec](https://github.com/mapbox/mbtiles-spec/blob/master/1.3/spec.md) it's quite unclear what the `grids` table is for. Is there an explanation that I missed?

Research direction

Start with the linked MBTiles 1.3 specification and compare the explanations of the grids and tiles tables. Clarify the purpose of the grids table and its relationship to tiles; the work is done when the specification answers this question unambiguously.
