Filter /-/databases by view-database permission
/-/databases previously listed every attached database (including
filesystem paths and sizes) to any actor with view-instance, while the
homepage and every other endpoint filtered by view-database. The
endpoint now only lists databases the current actor is allowed to view.

JsonDataView data callbacks may now be async.

Convert /-/actions.json from top-level array to object
/-/actions.json now returns {"ok": true, "actions": [...]} instead of a
bare JSON array, so the response can grow additional keys without a
breaking change. The debug_actions.html template reads data.actions,
and the endpoint is now documented in docs/introspection.rst.

Convert /-/plugins.json from top-level array to object
/-/plugins.json now returns {"ok": true, "plugins": [...]} instead of a
bare JSON array, so the response can grow additional keys without a
breaking change. The `datasette plugins` CLI command still outputs a
plain array.

Add "ok": true to every JSON object success response
JsonDataView now injects "ok": true into dict responses, covering
/-/versions, /-/settings, /-/config, /-/threads and /-/actor. The
homepage JSON, /-/jump, the three /-/schema endpoints, /-/allowed,
/-/rules, /-/check, POST /-/permissions and the table /-/autocomplete
endpoint set it explicitly.

The remaining top-level array endpoints (/-/plugins, /-/databases,
/-/actions) will be converted to objects in separate commits.

Unify JSON error responses into one canonical shape
All JSON error responses now use a single format built by the new
datasette.utils.error_body() helper:

    {"ok": false, "error": "...", "errors": ["..."], "status": 400}

- error is all messages joined with '; ', errors is the full list,
  status always matches the HTTP status code
- The exception handler no longer emits the legacy title key in JSON
  (it is still available to the HTML error template)
- The permission debug endpoints (/-/allowed, /-/rules, /-/check,
  POST /-/permissions) no longer return bare {"error": ...} objects
- JSON renderer SQL errors keep their rows/truncated context keys but
  now include the canonical keys as well
- _shape=object misuse (queries or tables without primary keys) now
  returns HTTP 400 instead of 200 with an error body
- Method-not-allowed 405 responses use the canonical shape

Adds tests/test_error_shape.py covering all four previous shape
producers, updates affected tests, and documents the format in a new
'Error responses' section of docs/json_api.rst.

Implements section 1 of stable-api-recommendations.md.

Support CREATE VIEW / DROP VIEW in execute-write-sql
New create-view and drop-view actions.

Also fix a related bug in analyze_sql_tables(): SQLite's authorizer fires a spurious SQLITE_DELETE callback against the view name when a view is dropped (the same thing it does for dropped tables), which was incorrectly surfaced as a delete-row requirement on the view. Broaden the existing drop-table-delete suppression to cover dropped views too.
