KeePassXC dialog lists a default DB which does not exist

When creating a new password database, a /home/amnesia/Persistent/keepassx.kdbx database is listed under Recent databases, however, that file does not exist and when a user tries to open it, they see an error about the file not existing which convinces them they broke something.

The listed database should be created upon creating a Persistent volume, so that the user can get started using KeepassXC right away (as they would be used to in other password managers) without having to do the manual work of creating a password database. Power users already know how to create a new password database if they don’t want to use the default one created in Tails.
