sqlite: open database when we use it rather than at instantiation time

We currently close the database as soon as possible while we handle the status
backend but this is still too early because autorefresh induces looping on this
code block.

Instead of delaying the closing outside of the loop, it's easier to delay the
opening as late as possible (inside the loop). The downside is that the database
is opened/closed more than once when autorefresh is enabled. The good news is
that this make the code much easier.

Fixes regression introduces by 6fb5700.
