   ### SUMMARY
   <!--- Describe the change below, including rationale and design decisions -->
   
   SQLite allows users to create DBs locally on the machine running Superset. 
This is dangerous because it allows mapping the local filesystem and can also 
lead to DoS attacks. There is no good reason to be using SQLite as an analytics 
DB, so we've opted to prevent it from being used.
   
   This change introduces a new flag `PREVENT_UNSAFE_DB_CONNECTIONS` which is 
true by default. Any other future unsafe db connections can be added to the 
same logic I've written here.
