Command for creating an empty database

See original GitHub issue

I sometimes find the need to create an empty SQLite database file - for example if I want to enable WAL on it before using it with another script. I currently do that like this:

sqlite3 my.db vacuum
sqlite-utils enable-wal my.db

It would be nice if sqlite-utils had a convenience command for doing this.
