- Backported a workaround for a bug in SQLite 3.2.x/3.3.x versions where a

  statement recompilation with no bound parameters lead to a segfault
- Backported a fix necessary because of an SQLite API change in version 3.5.
  This prevents segfaults when executing empty queries, like our test suite
  does.
