sqlite: render results as Markdown tables for the TUI

OpenCode's tool content schema (Tool.Content = TextContent | FileContent)
gives a server plugin no metadata channel — the TUI's only view of tool
output is the content string. So: format the result as a Markdown
table, which the TUI's built-in markdown renderer already displays as
a real table.

- sqlite_query gains format = 'table' (default) | 'json' | 'both'.
  'table' is the new default and renders a header line, a separator
  row, and one row per record with pipes/newlines/backslashes escaped.
  'json' keeps the old behaviour for callers that need raw rows.
- Every tool that runs SQL echoes 'SQL: <stmt>  params: [...]' as the
  first line of its output, so the user sees what was executed
  including the bound values.
- Every tool that runs a statement pushes context.progress() at start
  and end, which surfaces in the TUI status bar.
- cellToMarkdown caps each cell at 80 chars to keep wide BLOBs from
  blowing up the TUI column width.

End-to-end verified via Code Mode (no model in the loop):
- format=table renders correctly with edge cases (| in text, \n in
  text, \ in text)
- format=both appends the JSON view below the table
- exec echoes the bound params as a JSON array
- write+read round-trip persists (UPDATE → SELECT sees the new value)
