Add _maxconn SQLite connection string parameter

Lets the SQLite connection string set a custom max open connections
via a "_maxconn=n" query parameter, since the driver doesn't support
it natively. Zero or negative values fall back to the default, and
the parameter is ignored for in-memory databases, which must stay
capped at a single connection.
