Description
Feature or enhancement
sqlite3.sqlite_version and sqlite3.sqlite_version_info only describe the SQLite library loaded at runtime. There is no way to learn the version of the library that the module was built against, which can differ.
Following gh-117404, add sqlite3.SQLITE_VERSION and sqlite3.SQLITE_VERSION_INFO for the build-time version, and make sqlite3.sqlite_version_info a named tuple.

Research direction
Start by reading gh-117404 and inspecting the existing sqlite3.sqlite_version and sqlite3.sqlite_version_info entry points. Compare the requested build-time constants and named-tuple shape with the linked work in gh-157471; done means both build-time values are exposed and the runtime version info has the requested structure.
