Add support for views

[ad-si]

Is there a fundamental problem preventing this?

@ad-si I'm not that familiar with views, so I guess that's the fundamental problem 😄

My 5 minute read seems to show that Sequelize (which tuql uses under the hood) doesn't support SQLite views, so that may be a blocker.

Well, views are just queries which yield a new (read only) table. Reading from a table or a view works exactly in the same way, so it's really straight forward.

What the 😳. I guess that's why I never use ORMs. Completely useless abstraction. Since this project is explicitly for SQLite databases, maybe you shouldn't use it either? I feel like having direct access to all SQLite features would be handy…

Not completely useless, it allowed for this library to be created quickly without writing a bunch of SQL plumbing myself 🤷‍♂

Regardless, views are not something I have needed for this, happy to look at a PR that brings support for them though.
