Current behaviour

I have some wallets that are write protected and want to use bitcoin-wallet info and bitcoin-wallet dump but am unable to do so because these commands require write permission.

$ bitcoin-wallet -datadir=. -wallet=wallet-name -dumpfile=wallet.dump dump
SQLiteDatabase: Database opened in readonly mode but read-write permissions are needed
$ bitcoin-wallet -datadir=. -wallet=wallet-name info                     
SQLiteDatabase: Database opened in readonly mode but read-write permissions are needed

Expected behaviour

I would expect commands that are not intended to change the wallet to only require read permissions and be able to work on wallet directories and files that are read only.

This will also stop mistakes from corrupting the database.

Steps to reproduce

chmod -R a-w <wallet-directory>
bitcoin-wallet -datadir=<wallet-directory> -wallet=<wallet-name> -dumpfile=wallet.dump dump
bitcoin-wallet -datadir=<wallet-directory> -wallet=<wallet-name> info
