BREAKING: Removed public constructor from LinguistBackendApi. Removed export of LinguistBackendDatabase and LinguistBackendStore

Several improvements to the Linguist backend have been made:

• Added tests for the LinguistBackendDatabase and LinguistBackendApi
• Added support for using SQLite as a database, helpful for local development
• Removed the default from the processes_date column
• Converted the LinguistBackendApi into an Interface
• Added the LinguistBackendClient which implements the LinguistBackendApi Interface
• Unprocessed entities will get processed before stale entities
• Entities in the Linguist database but not in the Catalog anymore will be deleted
• Improved the README's headings
