[Feature]: Support for Turso

Describe the new feature

Hi, first off, I want to thank the developers of sqlite browser. I absolutely love this database browser - It's a no nonsense db browser that's is so well designed it needs no tutorial.

I've been using Turso databases a lot in my development work (not affiliated with Turso). Turso is simply a serverless SQLite database that you interact with over http.

I hesitate to request adding in a reference to a commercial product in sqlite browser - perhaps a more generic "Open Database over https" might be better, given you just pass in a URL with an access token.

Alternatively, if the sqlite browser team are open to plugins, exposing a C FFI with a few basic functions (query operations returning a vector of results and the ability to add GUI options) would allow me to write an adapter in Rust to add the ability to connect to Turso, as well as another plugin for CloudFlare D1

Does this feature exist in another product or project? Please provide a link

There are few (if any) database browser tools that are able to establish a connection with Turso

Do you have a screenshot? Please add screenshots to help explain your idea.

@alshdavid That's an interesting idea. Some kind of ~standard interface that would others to also create/maintain more plugins seems good to me.

That being said, I wonder if the people behind Turso would sponsor this or similar? It sounds like they'd have a lot to gain.

Do you know them well enough to ask? :smile:

Haha, unfortunately not. I'll raise a question in their GitHub though. Hopefully that might start a dialogue.

I wish I could contribute directly but I'm terrible at c++ (way more familiar with Rust). If a standard interface for plugins is devised, I can write plugins (and create a crate for Rust bindings to help others build plugins).
