Subject: add initial sketches for Store.Insert, Store.Update

Currently extremely bad performance for some reason. Need to investigate.

+// For the purpose of loading and storing records (i.e. instances of type R) into the database,
+// this function establishes a mapping between fields of type R and database columns by inspecting the "db" tag.
+// For example:
+//
+//	type MyRecord struct {
+//		ID     int64  `db:"record_id,auto"`
+//		Foo    string `db:"foo"`
+//		Bar    string
+//		Cache  map[string]any `db:"-"`
+//		action func()
+//	}
+//
+// In this type:
+//   - The fields "ID" and "Foo" correspond to the database columns "record_id" and "foo" because of the declaration in the "db" tag.
+//   - The field "Bar" corresponds to the database column "Bar" because, when no "db" tag is given, the column name is set equal to the field name.
+//   - The field "Cache" is not mapped to any database column because it is declared with a "db" tag of "-". Loads and stores will ignore it.
+//   - The field "action" is private, so loads and stores will ignore it, too.
+//
+// Besides the declaration of a column name, the following extra tags are understood (as a comma-separated list following the column name):
+//   - "auto": During [Store.Insert], do not store this field's value. Instead, the database will auto-generate a value, which will be read back into the record.
