For some special setups it is sometimes useful to run Litestream manually instead of letting it replicate in the background. This commit implements the following flags for replicate: * -once for doing synchronous replication and then exit * -force-snapshot to force a snapshot during -once * -enforce-retention to enforce retention rules during -once Because running once does not respect the snapshot interval the caller is expected to use -force-snapshot and -enforce-retention regularly to ensure the replication targets stay clean. For this to work correctly with a live database it needs to be opened with auto checkpointing disabled and SQLITE_FCNTL_PERSIST_WAL. Other uses include only using -force-snapshot to create regular backups of the database instead of live replication. Fixes benbjohnson#486

Hey @hifi, I just started using Litestream and was interested in using this feature. I'm still a bit of a novice Go programmer but am eager to help if I can. Would comments still be helpful? Or anything else I could do? |

This PR is still WIP but it'd be nice to hear suggestions around the implementation and leveraging the exec stuff. Screwing around checkpointing by changing the values feels quite dirty.
MinCheckpointPageNis checked onOpen()so in most normal runs the added check for it to be non-zero doesn't make a difference.
