[NEW PORT] databases/sqlite-jdbc: JDBC driver for SQLite

[michaelo]

Summary

PR: 293491

[michaelo]

I have chosen, to create a fresh new port to align with the new home on GH/xerial and align with other JDBC drivers in the databases category.

Open issues:

• Deprecation of old, dead port in favor of this one. When? End of May? In quarterly as well?
• Technically, all supported archs should work (see OSInfo.java), but the Makefile.common does not contain all of them. Question: Can someone extend, patch and test on those (PPC64, ARM 32 bit, RISC V) or should be use ONLY_FOR_ARCHS?

Looks fine to me.

We can handle this after this new port has landed. No hurry. I would recommend EXPIRATION_DATE=commit date + 3 months. No need to deprecate in quarterly. The deprecation notice will automatically get into the next quarterly. (This is how I see this being done more often.)

If somebody on these tier-2 platforms starts using your port it will pop up if it doesn't work and somebody can take a look then. I would recommend to first land the new port and then only spend time on improvements for tier-2 when an actual request for it is made.
