Handle session ID does not exist in the user_sessions dictionary

When trying to resume a chat using the SQLAlchemyDataLayer with SQLite as the database, and the following SQL to create the tables with:

UUID -> TEXT
JSONB -> TEXT
TEXT[] ->TEXT
BOOLEAN -> INTEGER

as UUID, JSONB, TEXT[], and BOOLEAN are not support types in SQLite:

create_tables_sql = """
        CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (

I'd get the following AttributeError:

    user_sessions[session.id] = metadata.copy()
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'copy'

The AttributeError appeared to come from:

    if user_is_author:
        metadata = thread.get("metadata") or {}
        user_sessions[session.id] = metadata.copy()

Modifying to:

    if user_is_author:
        metadata = thread.get("metadata") or {}
        print(metadata)
        user_sessions[session.id] = metadata.copy()

Yielded:

{"memory": null, "id": "3cd2ee0c-a271-4ebf-bf4d-fd3fdfb0b4ea", "env": "{\"api_key=<redacted>\"}", "chat_settings": {}, "user": null, "chat_profile": null, "http_referer": "http://localhost:8080/thread/4eaaee1c-d630-488d-b15d-1fdf36610606", "client_type": "webapp", "languages": "en-US,en;q=0.9", "runnable": null, "metadata": {}}

Modifying to:

    if user_is_author:
        metadata = thread.get("metadata") or {}
        print(f"User sessions: {user_sessions}")
        user_sessions[session.id] = metadata.copy()

Yieled:

User sessions: {}

With the changes introduced in the PR, all of the persisted storage functionality works with SQLite as the database using the SQLAlchemyDataLayer and all of the cypress and backend tests passed locally.

Please point me in another direction if there's a better way to handle this elsewhere! I'm fairly new to using Chainlit and I'm a big fan.
