The increase storage prompt for WebSQL isn't working reliably

If you try the following test framework https://demo.agektmr.com/storage/ users quite often face the following error dialog
after clicking the increase button in the dialog, despite there being space available on the device.

"there was not enough remaining storage space, or the storage quota was reached and the user declined to allow more space"

Expected result is that if the user is prompted and they click increase and there is space, it should just work, regardless
of any size parameters being passed to open database.

Alas, this behaviour is not consistent across different devices

I'm guessing this is invalid given that WebSQL has been removed.

We have removed WebSQL as a feature. We won't make further improvements to it.
