* Emit LIMIT -1 when offset is used without limit, closes#816
SQLite requires a LIMIT clause to appear before OFFSET, so passing offset
without limit generated invalid SQL such as:
select * from "t" offset 2
which raised OperationalError: near "2": syntax error.
A negative limit means "no upper bound" in SQLite, so "limit -1 offset N"
returns all rows from position N onwards.
Fixed in three places that build LIMIT/OFFSET SQL:
- Queryable.rows_where() - also covers pks_and_rows_where()
- Table.search_sql() - also covers search()
- the "sqlite-utils rows" CLI command
* Remove duplicate comments

The tokenize value passed to Table.enable_fts() was interpolated directly
into the CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE statement inside a single-quoted string
literal. A value containing a single quote could break out of that literal
and inject arbitrary SQL, which executes via executescript(). This is
reachable from the CLI via 'enable-fts --tokenize'.
Route the value through the existing Database.quote() helper so SQLite
itself escapes it. Legitimate tokenizers such as 'porter' are unaffected.
Adds a regression test.
* Fix _decode_default_value to unescape doubled single quotes in string defaults
SQLite stores string defaults with single quotes doubled (e.g. DEFAULT 'O''Brien'
is stored as the literal "'O''Brien'" in sqlite_master). The previous code
stripped the outer quotes with value[1:-1] but never converted '' back to ',
so default_values returned the raw escaped form instead of the true string value.

* Fix rowid pk and last_rowid regressions in insert/upsert
Two behaviour regressions in the 4.0 insert/upsert rewrite broke callers
(notably Datasette's write API) that operate on tables without an explicit
primary key. Both are fixed here with regression tests.
1. rowid (and its aliases _rowid_/oid) were rejected as a primary key.
Table.pks already reports ["rowid"] for a rowid table, but the new pk
validation raised InvalidColumns because rowid is not listed among the
table's columns, and the insert success path then raised KeyError when
looking up the pk value. rowid aliases are now accepted for rowid tables
and resolve directly to the rowid.
2. An ignored insert (INSERT OR IGNORE that matched an existing row) no
longer populated last_rowid, and only set last_pk when an explicit pk=
was passed. It now locates the existing conflicting row by its primary
key values and reports that row's rowid and pk, rather than relying on
the connection's last inserted rowid.
Add a shared ROWID_ALIASES constant for the rowid alias names.

A RAISE(ROLLBACK) trigger or INSERT OR ROLLBACK conflict rolls back the
entire transaction and destroys every savepoint. The cleanup paths in
atomic() and query() then raised OperationalError ("no such savepoint" /
"cannot rollback - no transaction is active"), masking the original
IntegrityError - breaking user code that catches sqlite3.IntegrityError.
Cleanup now checks conn.in_transaction first: if the error already
destroyed the transaction there is nothing left to undo, and the
original exception propagates.

SQLite 3.23.1 rejects a UTF-8 byte order mark before the first token,
so the BOM variant of the execute()-prefixed-BEGIN test now skips when
the SQLite version does not accept a leading BOM. And versions before
3.36 allowed selecting rowid from a view, returning NULL, rather than
raising an error - the pks_and_rows_where() view test now accepts
either behavior.

The docs promise --list will not create the database file or the
_sqlite_migrations table, but legacy sqlite_migrate.Migrations classes
create the table (in the legacy schema) from their pending()/applied()
methods. The listing now runs inside a transaction that is rolled back,
keeping --list read-only regardless of what the migration class does.

sqlite-utils insert db t - --pk badcol and sqlite-utils extract db t
nosuchcol dumped raw InvalidColumns tracebacks - the insert error
handling caught NoTable and OperationalError but not the InvalidColumns
introduced for #732, and the extract command had no handling at all
(including for NoTable when pointed at a view). Both now exit with
click-style Error: messages.

The lookup-table insert relied on INSERT OR IGNORE and the unique index
to dedupe against existing rows, but SQLite unique indexes treat NULLs
as distinct - extracting a second table into the same lookup table
re-inserted every NULL-containing value, growing orphan rows on each
extract. The insert now also has an IS-based NOT EXISTS guard, matching
how the foreign keys themselves are resolved.

The existing-foreign-key dedup compared only columns and other_table, so
requesting an FK that already exists with different ON DELETE/ON UPDATE
actions was a silent no-op - and with add_foreign_key() raising "already
exists", there was no signal that the requested actions were dropped.
An exact match (including actions) is still skipped for idempotency;
a mismatch now raises AlterError pointing at table.transform().
Also validates that compound foreign keys passed as 4-tuples have the
same number of columns on both sides - extra other-columns were being
silently discarded, e.g. ("t", ("a",), "other", ("a", "b")) created a
single-column key referencing just "a".
