Add Connection.serialize() and Connection.deserialize() for copying databases through bytes, including named attached databases.
Copy SQLite-owned serialization data while holding the database mutex, and transfer deserialization storage to SQLite with support for subsequent database growth.
Release the source-buffer borrow before deserialization can invoke Python callbacks.
The SQLite connection module adds serialize and deserialize methods. Serialization returns database contents as bytes. Deserialization accepts string or bytes-like input and passes a copy to SQLite.
Changes: SQLite connection serialization
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Serialization method and arguments crates/stdlib/src/_sqlite3.rs
Adds method argument definitions and Connection.serialize. The method requests SQLite serialization, copies the database bytes, and handles allocation and size errors.
Deserialization input and SQLite handoff crates/stdlib/src/_sqlite3.rs
Adds string and bytes-like input support for Connection.deserialize. The method copies input into SQLite-allocated memory and calls SQLite deserialization with free-on-close and resizable flags.
The new APIs have a bounded input-type compatibility issue: deserialize accepts strings instead of rejecting them. Correct that behavior and add attached-database coverage; no serious failure is established.

Add a named-database serialization test.
The current tests cover only the default main database. Add a test that attaches a second database, deserializes into it by name, and checks that main remains unchanged. This covers the new name handoff without duplicating the existing default-database tests.

Add a focused test alongside the existing serialization tests that attaches a
second database, deserializes into it by name through the `sqlite3_deserialize`
path, and verifies the `main` database remains unchanged; avoid duplicating the

⚠️Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
deserialize accepts SQLite's return code without separately validating the installed image. SQLite may accept malformed bytes at handoff but reject the image only when its schema is first read.
deserialize reports success, while a subsequent query fails because the imported database is invalid.
This can occur when: A caller supplies a nonempty, malformed database image for main.

- Line 430: Update DeserializeArgs.data in Connection.deserialize to use
ArgBytesLike, then pass its byte buffer to deserialization and remove the UTF-8
validation that only applies to strings. Add ArgBytesLike to the function
imports, and retain ArgStrOrBytesLike if it is still used elsewhere in the file.

Regarding the additional review notes: the named-database test is prepared locally and passes on Windows, Debian, and CPython 3.15.0. It covers both name arguments and verifies that main is unchanged. Since this PR has merged, it is being held for a separate follow-up.
The unverified malformed-image concern also matches CPython: deserialize(b"not a database") succeeds at handoff, and reading the schema then raises DatabaseError. The existing SerializeTests.test_deserialize_corrupt_database already checks this delayed validation, so no extra validation or duplicate test is added here.
