[sqlite] Patch: sqlite3_query_string

Please consider applying the attached patch to SQLite3. It adds support for a method sqlite3_query_string(sqlite3_stmt*); This is helpful for error reporting when query execution fails. It's also helpful if an application needs to clone an existing query. It is the logical analogue of sqlit
