Fixes #19754
Description
The native SQLite interop library we depend on (SQLitePCL.raw) made a breaking change to stop setting the temp and data directories on UWP. Our guidance was for users to manually set these in their application. If users don't set these and specify a relative database file in their connection string, they'll get a SQLite error:
Customer Impact
Several customers are encountering the error without understanding why or how to fix it.
By reintroducing code to set these directories automatically for the user, it will lower the barrier to get started using Microsoft.Data.Sqlite and EF Core on UWP.
How found
Reported by multiple customers.
Test coverage
Manually verified that this works on UWP using both the version of SQLite that we include and winsqlite3.dll. Also verified that it works on .NET Native.
Regression?
Yes, from 2.2 to 3.0
Risk
Low. This is a no-op on all platforms besides UWP. There is a flag to disable the new behavior if it proves to be problematic.
