Gorm SQLite driver's dependency on gcc

The problem was mentioned in https://github.com/go-gorm/gorm/issues/6468, gorm.io/driver/sqlite depends on github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 which is a cgo lib and requires gcc to build a binary.

Reproduction

sqlite3 example.db
go run .

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "gorm.io/driver/sqlite"
    "gorm.io/gorm"
)

func Init(filename string) (*gorm.DB, error) {
    database, err := gorm.Open(sqlite.Open(filename), &gorm.Config{})
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    return database, nil
}

func main() {
    database, err := Init("example.db")
    if database == nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
}

Runtime error

[error] failed to initialize database, got error Binary was compiled with 'CGO_ENABLED=0', go-sqlite3 requires 
cgo to work. This is a stub
