This adds support for SpatiaLite database backend.
Unfortunately, due to a bug in SpatiaLite 5.0, the one that is supplied with Ubuntu 22.04, the database can not be properly initialized, which makes the e2e tests fail. That bug is fixed in SpatiLite 5.1, which is supplied with Ubuntu 24.04, hence the change to the runner OS.
With this change we are, however, not able to install Python 3.7 anymore, because it is no longer available for Ubuntu 24.04.
Since Python 3.7 is EOL, I think it's fine if we drop it from CI. If, however, we'd want to keep it, I'll have to figure out a way to install SpatiaLite on Ubuntu 22.04.
