[SECURITY] Which packages bundle sqlite?

Hello Guix,

Recently, a remote execution vulnerability is discovered in
sqlite[0][1]. Apart from updating the sqlite package, I think we need to
update all packages bundling sqlite as well. What do you think?

Cheers,
Alex

I also want to know should we graft in this case since updating sqlite
would cause ~4000s rebuilts. Besides, how to deal with packages that
inherit sqlite when grafting?
(e.g. sqlite-with-fts5 and sqlite-with-column-metadata)

Thanks,
Alex

Yes, it should be grafted.

These should be changed to use the 'package/inherit' macro.

Thanks for working on it!
