Description
SQLite does not support addForeignKey() but supports foreign key constraints inside columns definitions of CREATE TABLE query.
https://www.sqlite.org/foreignkeys.html
CREATE TABLE track(
trackid INTEGER,
trackname TEXT,
trackartist INTEGER,
FOREIGN KEY(trackartist) REFERENCES artist(artistid)
);
The follow command throws an Exception in SQLite
./yii migrate:create post --command=table --fields='department_id:integer:notNull:foreignKey(department)'
Due to column foreign key is initialized separately

Research direction
Start by reproducing the yii migrate:create command against SQLite, then inspect resources/views/_createTable.php at the linked lines and compare its generated SQL with SQLite's foreign-key syntax. Done means the command no longer throws an exception and the generated CREATE TABLE query includes the requested foreign-key constraint.
