Add support for the `fixed` attribute on binary columns to distinguish between fixed-length BINARY and variable-length VARBINARY types. This mirrors cakephp/cakephp#19207.
Tests cover: - Column class getter/setter for fixed option - Column::toArray() including fixed in output - Column::setOptions() accepting fixed option - MigrationHelper::getColumnOption() including/excluding fixed - MysqlAdapter creating BINARY vs VARBINARY based on fixed option

We should eventually raise the version constraint so that we can remove this.

Should we add a TODO here in code? Or just track this for a future cleanup in some ticket?

Should we also have an assertion on the column types?

We need to wait with final merge and bugfix release until core patch has been released it seems. |
