Description
Currently, Turso (the platform), libsql-sever, and embedded replicas use WAL mode and it is the only mode supported. However libsql drivers don't have WAL mode as default. Let's change that to use WAL everywhere.

Research direction
Start by locating the default journal-mode configuration in the libsql drivers, then compare it with the WAL setup used by Turso, libsql-server, and embedded replicas. Verify that every driver defaults to WAL and update or add the relevant tests to confirm the behavior.
