Description

It would be helpful to have a 'limit' option for sqlite buffer like exists for the memory buffer.
Reference: https://www.benthos.dev/docs/components/buffers/memory#limit

This would help lower issues with running out of disk on the host system.

Products like logstash go as far to to print error when the host system does not have enough disk to support the disk limits on the queues.

Research direction

The issue names the sqlite buffer and the memory buffer's documented limit option; start by comparing those buffer implementations with the referenced documentation. No source file or test is named, so identify the existing sqlite and memory buffer entry points first; done means sqlite buffering supports the requested limit and addresses host disk exhaustion.
