issue with fossil in source code README.md

As reported on the [Fossil forum](https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/bc5f8f6e59?t=h). Due to a change in fossil 2.12, the fossil instructions in the [Sqlite README.md](https://sqlite.org/src/doc/trunk/README.md) no longer work for recent versions of fossil. ``` mkdir ~/sqlite cd ~/sqlite fossil clone https://www.sqlite.org/src sqlite.fossil fossil open sqlite.fossil directory ~/sqlite is not empty use the -f or --force option to override ``` In my estimation **"fossil open"** should be changed to exempt the ***.fossil*** argument.

That seems like a reasonable long-term solution. But it will take some time for a version of Fossil that supports that to propagate through the ecosystem. So in the meantime, the README.md file has been adjusted to give a procedure that *should* work for any version of Fossil after 2.0.

Great, and again many thanks for sqlite and fossil. BTW, before I forget: the other day a jsish user pointed me to the very cool virtualpg extension which I did not see documented anywhere on the sqlite site. * [VirtualPG Site](https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/virtualpg) * [Jsish issue](https://github.com/pcmacdon/jsish/issues/39)
