If I run

sqlite3
.load /usr/local/lib/mod_spatialite.so
select spatialite_version();

I have `5.0.0`.

This PR adds three new Spatialite-related methods to Database and Table:

- `Database.init_spatialite` loads the Spatialite extension and initializes it
- `Table.add_geometry_column` adds a geometry column
- `Table.create_spatial_index` creates a spatial index

Has tests and documentation. Feedback very welcome.",140912432,pull,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/385/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",0,
