[dev] Adding SQLite as a new optional dependency

[Renato Westphal]

@Vincent Thanks for your suggestion. I think libgit2 could be a good
fit in the sense that we would store only the deltas instead of full
configurations. But other than that, I think libgit2 would introduce
more complexity and would bring other challenges to solve. I'll
analyze this more carefully tomorrow.

@Donald Yes, Martin raised the same concern last time I talked to him.
Using the SQLite solution this wouldn't be a problem since SQLite
supports in-memory databases. As a matter of fact, this shouldn't be a
problem for any solution we choose as long as we store the
transactions on a tmpfs directory.
