Description

The libSQL core API follows rusqlite's API but it means language bindings such as JavaScript one has to do work around the rusqlite API to be compatible with better-sqlite3. Let's add a bind() + step() based API in the libSQL core, perhaps even making the rusqlite compatibility API a separate crate.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by reviewing the libSQL core API and its rusqlite compatibility API, then compare the needs of JavaScript bindings such as better-sqlite3. The work is complete only after the bind()/step() API scope and the compatibility-crate split are agreed and implemented.
