Summary0003853: get rid of hard libsqlite3 dependency
DescriptionGNS would be much more usable on small systems with practically no storage (think: wifi routers) if namestore had a simple ASCII-backend ("my local hosts file") instead of using libsqlite3.
Similarly, a backend for namecache which is designed to run only in the main memory without any storage (heap? hashtable?) would be needed to replace libsqlite3 there as well.
Steps To ReproduceTry running gnunet on a device with only a few megs (think: 4MB) of (read-only) storage. Realize that you cannot get GNS working without namestore, namecache and peerstore, which all require libsqlite3. libsqlite3 is still about half a MB in size, and that's quite a lot given that libsqlite3 is also not suitable to manage data in the system's main memory (think: 32MB)...
Yet, it would be very advantageous to be able to use GNUnet's VPN, Names, ... on systems which cannot contribute permanent storage in the traditional sense -- however, usually routers and plug-computers are powered-on and run their services 24/7, which is also a way to keep data permanent...

We currently get this on various buildbots:

../../test-driver: line 107: 24429 Segmentation fault "$@" > $log_file 2>&1

peerstore still depends on sqlite3, it'll also need a 'flat' or 'heap' variant.

Peerstore flat added in r37200 experimental.
No testing.

In fact, no tests for peerstore (including sqlite) exist.
We should create another bug for that.
