    libtracker-data: Workaround SQLite 3.35.x bug
    
    The optimization for UNION ALLs inside JOINs had another unexpected
    victim:
    
      SELECT * { GRAPH ?g { ?a ... OPTIONAL { ?a ... } } }
    
    Does now break when matching the graph between both sides of the
    LEFT JOIN caused by OPTIONAL, making all other values coming from
    the right hand side come back empty. Make it sure this specific case
    is ineligible for query flattening optimizations by adding a LIMIT
    clause on the right hand side of the LEFT JOIN. This brings back
    correct over fast.
    
    This workaround should be revisited when a SQLite fix is available.
