SQLite3 engine update to latest revision 3.7.17

Version 3.7.17 of SQLite is recommended for all new development.
Upgrading from all previous SQLite versions is recommended.
http://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_7_17.html

Add support for memory-mapped I/O.
Add the sqlite3_strglob() convenience interface.
Assigned the integer at offset 68 in the database header as the Application ID for when SQLite is used as an application file-format. Added the PRAGMA application_id command to query and set the Application ID.
Report rollback recovery in the error log as SQLITE_NOTICE_RECOVER_ROLLBACK. Change the error log code for WAL recover from SQLITE_OK to SQLITE_NOTICE_RECOVER_WAL.
Report the risky uses of unlinked database files and database filename aliasing as SQLITE_WARNING messages in the error log.
Added the SQLITE_TRACE_SIZE_LIMIT compile-time option.
Increase the default value of SQLITE_MAX_SCHEMA_RETRY to 50 and make sure that it is honored in every place that a schema change might force a statement retry.
Add a new test harness called "mptester" used to verify correct operation when multiple processes are using the same database file at the same time.
Enhance the extension loading mechanism to be more flexible (while still maintaining backwards compatibility) in two ways:
If the default entry point "sqlite3_extension_init" is not present in the loadable extension, also try an entry point "sqlite3_X_init" where "X" is based on the shared library filename. This allows every extension to have a different entry point, which allows them to be statically linked with no code changes.
The shared library filename passed to sqlite3_load_extension() may omit the filename suffix, and an appropriate architecture-dependent suffix (".so", ".dylib", or ".dll") will be added automatically.
Added many new loadable extensions to the source tree, including amatch, closure, fuzzer, ieee754, nextchar, regexp, spellfix, and wholenumber. See header comments on each extension source file for further information about what that extension does.
Enhance FTS3 to avoid using excess stack space when there are a huge number of terms on the right-hand side of the MATCH operator. A side-effect of this change is that the MATCH operator can only accommodate 12 NEAR operators at a time.
Enhance the fts4aux virtual table so that it can be a TEMP table.
Added the fts3tokenize virtual table to the full-text search logic.
Query planner enhancement: Use the transitive property of constraints to move constraints into the outer loops of a join whenever possible, thereby reducing the amount of work that needs to occur in inner loops.
Discontinue the use of posix_fallocate() on unix, as it does not work on all filesystems.
Improved tracing and debugging facilities in the Windows VFS.
Bug fix: Fix a potential database corruption bug in shared cache mode when one database connection is closed while another is in the middle of a write transaction. Ticket e636a050b7
Bug fix: Only consider AS names from the result set as candidates for resolving identifiers in the WHERE clause if there are no other matches. In the ORDER BY clause, AS names take priority over any column names. Ticket 2500cdb9be05
Bug fix: Do not allow a virtual table to cancel the ORDER BY clause unless all outer loops are guaranteed to return no more than one row result. Ticket ba82a4a41eac1.
Bug fix: Do not suppress the ORDER BY clause on a virtual table query if an IN constraint is used. Ticket f69b96e3076e.
Bug fix: The command-line shell gives an exit code of 0 when terminated using the ".quit" command.
Bug fix: Make sure PRAGMA statements appear in sqlite3_trace() output.
Bug fix: When a compound query that uses an ORDER BY clause with a COLLATE operator, make sure that the sorting occurs according to the specified collation and that the comparisons associate with the compound query use the native collation. Ticket 6709574d2a8d8.
Bug fix: Makes sure the authorizer callback gets a valid pointer to the string "ROWID" for the column-name parameter when doing an UPDATE that changes the rowid. Ticket 0eb70d77cb05bb2272
Bug fix: Do not move WHERE clause terms inside OR expressions that are contained within an ON clause of a LEFT JOIN. Ticket f2369304e4
Bug fix: Make sure an error is always reported when attempting to preform an operation that requires a collating sequence that is missing. Ticket 0fc59f908b

Corresponding commit in our source code repository is http://synopse.info/fossil/info/be9fc037d1
Of course, the corresponding .obj files have been refreshed in http://synopse.info/files/sqlite3obj.7z
See http://synopse.info/fossil/wiki?name=Get+the+source

Still need to integrate optional memory mapping access, and run some benchmarks.
