7511ba5530 Allow linking against system-provided libsqlite
Unfortunately, rusqlite uses the opposite logic for enabling/disabling
bundled libraries to others (libsodium-sys, zstd-sys). Cargo features
are very limited and doesn't allow to enable feature A in a dependency
iff feature B is disabled.

Note, lmdb-rkv-sys doesn't need any special treatment because it
automatically links against system liblmdb if found via pkgconf.

Linux distros should build garage with
`--no-default-features --features system-libs` to disable bundled-libs
and enable system-libs.

4f38cadf6e Background task manager (#332)
- [x] New background worker trait
- [x] Adapt all current workers to use new API
- [x] Command to list currently running workers, and whether they are active, idle, or dead
- [x] Error reporting
- Optimizations
  - [x] Merkle updater: several items per iteration
  - [ ] Use `tokio::task::spawn_blocking` where appropriate so that CPU-intensive tasks don't block other things going on
- scrub:
  - [x] have only one worker with a channel to start/pause/cancel
  - [x] automatic scrub
  - [x] ability to view and change tranquility from CLI
  - [x] persistence of a few info
- [ ] Testing

b44d3fc796 Abstract database behind generic interface and implement alternative drivers (#322)
- [x] Design interface
- [x] Implement Sled backend
  - [x] Re-implement the SledCountedTree hack ~~on Sled backend~~ on all backends (i.e. over the abstraction)
- [x] Convert Garage code to use generic interface
- [x] Proof-read converted Garage code
- [ ] Test everything well
- [x] Implement sqlite backend
- [x] Implement LMDB backend
- [ ] (Implement Persy backend?)
- [ ] (Implement other backends? (like RocksDB, ...))
- [x] Implement backend choice in config file and garage server module
- [x] Add CLI for converting between DB formats
- Exploit the new interface to put more things in transactions
  - [x] `.updated()` trigger on Garage tables

Fix #284

**Bugs**

- [x] When exporting sqlite, trees iterate empty??
- [x] LMDB doesn't work

**Known issues for various back-ends**

- Sled:
  - Eats all my RAM and also all my disk space
  - `.len()` has to traverse the whole table
  - Is actually quite slow on some operations
  - And is actually pretty bad code...
- Sqlite:
  - Requires a lock to be taken on all operations. The lock is also taken when iterating on a table with `.iter()`, and the lock isn't released until the iterator is dropped. This means that we must be VERY carefull to not do anything else inside a `.iter()` loop or else we will have a deadlock! Most such cases have been eliminated from the Garage codebase, but there might still be some that remain. If your Garage-over-Sqlite seems to hang/freeze, this is the reason.
  - (adapter uses a bunch of unsafe code)
- Heed (LMDB):
  - Not suited for 32-bit machines as it has to map the whole DB in memory.
  - (adpater uses a tiny bit of unsafe code)

**My recommendation:** avoid 32-bit machines and use LMDB as much as possible.

**Converting databases** is actually quite easy. For example from Sled to LMDB:

```bash
cd src/db
cargo run --features cli --bin convert -- -i path/to/garage/meta/db -a sled -o path/to/garage/meta/db.lmdb -b lmdb
```

Then, just add this to your `config.toml`:

```toml
db_engine = "lmdb"
```
