allow processes without write access to the directory containing the db to read the db when all connections are closed. Without this setting and with WAL enabled and no open db connections unprivileged processes will fail to open the db due the WAL files not existing and not able to create them. When the WAL files are persistent unprivileged processeses can read the db when there are no open connections. Additionally, journal_size_limit is set to 2^40, which results in the WAL files being truncated to 0 on exit, as well as limiting the WAL files to 2^40 bytes following a checkpoint. https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/c_fcntl_begin_atomic_write.html#sqlitefcntlpersistwal https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_journal_size_limit https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/ed517a708284b6e00b6ae5f1e3f702bbfcbd32ed/src/wal.c#L2518 Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10300
