bitbake: persist_data: Enable Write Ahead Log

Enabling the write ahead log improves database reliability, speeds up
writes (since they mostly happen sequentially), and speeds up readers
(since they are no longer blocked by most write operations). The
persistent database is very read heavy, so the auto-checkpoint size is
reduced from the default (usually 1000) to 100 so that reads remain
fast.
