Enable sqlite extensions in the Windows build #95656
Description
Feature or enhancement
Enable SQLite extension loading in the Windows build (in the sqlite DLL shipped with Python, and in the stdlib sqlite3 module).
Pitch
At the moment, sqlite extensions are disabled at compile time - see the note in the docs. On Windows, though:
- We supply our own sqlite DLL, so we control the build options, and
- Users rarely build their own copy of Python.
So the reasons for not enabling extension loading don't really apply there, and conversely, people who want to use extensions cannot do so without limiting themselves to custom Python builds.

I'll create a patch.
As I said on Discourse, I'd like to make it possible to enable extension loading via
sqlite3_db_config(), but that is out of scope for this issue.pythongh-95656: Enable the sqlite3 load extension API in Windows build

lol, I'd forgotten that by installing 3.11b5, it was now my default, so when I checked and it wasn't working I assumed that was normal, rather than a 3.11 regression.
Thanks for fixing it, and sorry for misreporting it!
