Things like MySQL-embedded and H2 run a "server" as a thread instead
of as a separate process.  Clients then use Inter-Thread Communication
rather than Inter-Process Communication to send their queries to, and
get their results from, the database thread.  So this is really the
same thing as a server using IPC except that the server runs in the
same address space as the client.  The point of using the term
"serverless" is to indicate that SQLite does not work that way.
