Description
sqlite has a feature called sqlar which allows one to use the database as a file store: https://www.sqlite.org/sqlar.html.
It means we need zlib and two SQL functions (sqlar_compress/sqlar_uncompress). I read the features section on the README but it's not clear how I would enable sqlar. How hard would it be to add this feature to go-sqlite3? With some guidance I am happy to do my first contribution. Many thanks!

Research direction
Start with the SQLite sqlar documentation linked in the issue and the features section of README, then trace how go-sqlite3 enables SQLite features and registers SQL functions. The change is complete when sqlar can be enabled in go-sqlite3 and the sqlar_compress and sqlar_uncompress functions work with the required zlib support.
