[gdal-dev] Changing default version of GeoPackage to 1.4 for GDAL 3.11

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

I've a pull request ready to change the default version of GeoPackage 
datasets created by GDAL from GeoPackage v1.2 to v1.4: 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/12026

AFAIR, the changes between v1.2 and v1.4 are:
- v1.3: removal of triggers for metadata table (also done on v1.2)  
(https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3649)
- v1.4: support for DateTime fields without milliseconds or seconds 
(https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/8087)
- v1.4: changes in the RTree triggers to allow UPSERT operations    
(https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/7869)

GDAL fully supports GeoPackage 1.4 since GDAL 3.7.1. Someone tested for 
me a (perhaps recent) ArcGis Pro and they can open, edit and create new 
layers with appropriate triggers in GeoPackage 1.4, so that part of the 
compatibility history seems fine.

This is just about the default version. Support for reading, editing, 
creating datasets in any of the 1.0 to 1.4 versions is still maintained 
of course.

Any concern in proceeding? (CC'ing qgis-dev as well)
