.SYNOPSIS
Retrieves the schema information for a specified SQLite table.
 
.DESCRIPTION
This function queries the SQLite database to get detailed schema information for
a specified table. It uses the SQLite PRAGMA table_info command to return column
definitions including names, types, nullable status, and default values.
 
.PARAMETER ConnectionString
Specifies the SQLite connection string in the format:
"Data Source=path_to_database_file"
 
.PARAMETER DatabaseFilePath
Specifies the direct file path to the SQLite database file. This is converted
internally to a connection string.
 
.PARAMETER TableName
Specifies the name of the table for which to retrieve schema information.
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-SQLiteTableSchema -DatabaseFilePath "C:\Databases\mydb.sqlite" `
    -TableName "Users"
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-SQLiteTableSchema -ConnectionString "Data Source=C:\Databases\mydb.sqlite" `
    -TableName "Products"
