Add a way for virtual tables to return the expected number of rows for a scan (not just the overall cost) to SQLite. Have the rtree module make use of this.

** ^The estimatedCost value is an estimate of the cost of a particular

** ^The estimatedRows value is an estimate of the number of rows that

** IMPORTANT: The estimatedRows field was added to the sqlite3_index_info
** structure for SQLite version 3.8.2. If a virtual table extension is
** used with an SQLite version earlier than 3.8.2, the results of attempting
** to read or write the estimatedRows field are undefined (but are likely
** to included crashing the application). The estimatedRows field should
** therefore only be used if [sqlite3_libversion_number()] returns a
** value greater than or equal to 3008002.
