Raise appropriate error message when append is not possible (#1361)

* Raise appropriate error messages when SqliteWriter is requested to roll
- Handle "append" by adding **options to SqlWriter
- Check logger instance for SqliteWriter in rotating logger setup
  and raise appropriate error.

* Change **options to **kwargs in can/io/sqlite.py

* Better error handling for Sqlite rollover and append option

* Add type to **kwargs in asc

* Raise type error rather than exception so tests pass

* Changes to kwargs lookup and rolling log unavailability

* Updates based on black and mypy feedback

* Reformat exception by black

* Handle multiple suffixes in exception

* Replace ValueError with TypeError

* Update append test to handle ValueError
