backup: sqlite3 check in on_init can cause a hang at startup

See original GitHub issue

The call to listconfigs inside the db_sync hook can hang indefinitely in some circumstances. See https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/4348#issuecomment-769449638

I think it would be good to move this check to a different hook. Or remove it.

Bet that’s why the CI often failed/timeout on the backup plugin lately. ( @gallizoltan ) Someone already some clues? I will try to reproduce / isolate this.

Would be interesting to see if just moving the listconfigs call to a new thread is sufficient.

It would be possible to defer the check, but as I understand the nature of the check seems to be to want to fail quickly in the case of a wrong database kind.
