I made a go at improving the CSV importer for the upcoming SQLite 3.8.0
release.  Please see the latest trunk check-in.  Your expert feedback would
certainly be welcomed here.

Note that in the new ".import" command, the table named in the second
argument need not exist now, and the shell will create it for you
automatically, giving it column names as determined by the first row of the
CSV file.  That seemed like it might be a handy feature.

The other changes to the new ".import" are that it issues error messages
(but tries to continue muddling through) if the input does not conform to
rfc4180, and it correctly handles quoted data that extends across multiple
lines or that contains embedded commas.
