fix(sqlite): stage snapshot in temp file instead of /dev/stdout

The Alpine sqlite3 binary refuses to open /dev/stdout when running as
a non-root uid in a container ('Error: cannot open "/dev/stdout"'),
which breaks every backup attempt. Switch the dump path to stage the
snapshot in a temp file, then stream that file through gzip into the
pipeline. Adds streamSideEffect to the test mockRunner so the existing
gzip-wrap test can simulate the sqlite3 process writing to its
destination path.
