Compound foreign key support (PR #770)

Closes #594, closes #530

- **Breaking:** `ForeignKey` is now a dataclass, not a namedtuple - tuple unpacking/indexing raises `TypeError`; access fields by name. New fields: `columns`, `other_columns`, `is_compound`, `on_delete`, `on_update`.
- `table.foreign_keys` returns a compound foreign key as a single `ForeignKey` with `is_compound=True`, instead of one misleading entry per column.
- Create compound foreign keys anywhere with tuples of columns: `foreign_keys=[(("campus_name", "dept_code"), "departments")]` - also in `add_foreign_key()` and `db.add_foreign_keys()`. Rendered as table-level `FOREIGN KEY` constraints.
- `transform()` round-trips compound keys: `rename=` applies to member columns, dropping a member column drops the constraint, `drop_foreign_keys=` accepts a column name or an exact column tuple.
- `ON DELETE`/`ON UPDATE` actions are captured, rendered and preserved - `transform()` no longer strips `ON DELETE CASCADE`. New `add_foreign_key(..., on_delete="CASCADE")` parameters.
- Fixes: sorting mixed compound/single keys no longer raises `TypeError`; implicit `REFERENCES other_table` resolves to the other table's primary key; `index_foreign_keys()` creates a composite index for compound keys.

Changelog
===========
.. _v_unreleased:
Unreleased
----------
Breaking changes:
- ``table.foreign_keys`` now returns ``ForeignKey`` objects that are dataclasses rather than ``namedtuple`` instances, so they can no longer be unpacked or indexed as ``(table, column, other_table, other_column)`` tuples - access their fields by name instead. Compound (multi-column) foreign keys are now represented as a single ``ForeignKey`` with ``is_compound=True`` and populated ``columns``/``other_columns`` tuples, where ``column`` and ``other_column`` are ``None``. Previously they were returned as one ``ForeignKey`` per column, misleadingly suggesting several independent foreign keys. See :ref:`upgrading_3_to_4` for details. (:issue:`594`)
Compound foreign key support:
- Tables can now be created with compound foreign keys, by passing tuples of column names in ``foreign_keys=``: ``foreign_keys=[(("campus_name", "dept_code"), "departments")]``. The referenced columns default to the compound primary key of the other table. Compound keys are rendered as table-level ``FOREIGN KEY`` constraints in the generated schema. See :ref:`python_api_compound_foreign_keys`.
- ``table.transform()`` now preserves compound foreign keys, applying any column renames to them. Dropping a column that is part of a compound foreign key drops the whole constraint, matching the existing single-column behavior. ``drop_foreign_keys=`` accepts a bare column name - dropping any foreign key that column participates in - or a tuple of columns to target a compound key precisely.
- ``table.add_foreign_key()`` and ``db.add_foreign_keys()`` accept tuples of column names to add a compound foreign key to an existing table.
- ``db.index_foreign_keys()`` creates a single composite index for a compound foreign key.
Other foreign key improvements:
- ``ForeignKey`` now exposes ``on_delete`` and ``on_update`` fields reflecting the foreign key's ``ON DELETE``/``ON UPDATE`` actions, and ``table.transform()`` preserves those actions. Previously a transform silently stripped clauses such as ``ON DELETE CASCADE`` from the table schema.
- ``table.add_foreign_key()`` accepts new ``on_delete=`` and ``on_update=`` parameters for creating foreign keys with actions, e.g. ``table.add_foreign_key("author_id", "authors", "id", on_delete="CASCADE")``. (:issue:`530`)
- Foreign keys declared as ``REFERENCES other_table`` with no explicit column are now resolved to the other table's primary key by ``table.foreign_keys``, instead of reporting ``other_column=None``.
- Fixed a ``TypeError`` when sorting ``ForeignKey`` objects where some were compound.

Compound foreign keys
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To create a compound (multi-column) foreign key, use tuples of column names in place of the single column names:
.. code-block:: python
db.table("courses").create({
"course_code": str,
"campus_name": str,
"dept_code": str,
}, pk="course_code", foreign_keys=[
(("campus_name", "dept_code"), "departments", ("campus_name", "dept_code"))
])
This creates a table-level constraint:
.. code-block:: sql
CREATE TABLE "courses" (
"course_code" TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
"campus_name" TEXT,
"dept_code" TEXT,
FOREIGN KEY ("campus_name", "dept_code") REFERENCES "departments"("campus_name", "dept_code")
)
As with single columns, you can leave off the tuple of other columns to reference the compound primary key of the other table:
.. code-block:: python
foreign_keys=[
(("campus_name", "dept_code"), "departments")
]
To specify ``ON DELETE`` or ``ON UPDATE`` actions, pass ``ForeignKey`` objects instead:
.. code-block:: python
from sqlite_utils.db import ForeignKey
db.table("books").create({
"id": int,
"author_id": int,
}, pk="id", foreign_keys=[
ForeignKey(
table="books", column="author_id",
other_table="authors", other_column="id",
on_delete="CASCADE",
)
])
Foreign key actions are preserved by :ref:`table.transform() <python_api_transform>` - prior to sqlite-utils 4.0 they were silently dropped when a table was transformed.

To add a compound foreign key, pass tuples of columns:
.. code-block:: python
db.table("courses").add_foreign_key(
("campus_name", "dept_code"), "departments", ("campus_name", "dept_code")
)
As with single columns, omitting the other columns will use the compound primary key of the other table. ``other_table`` must always be specified for a compound foreign key.
Use ``on_delete=`` and ``on_update=`` to specify ``ON DELETE`` and ``ON UPDATE`` actions for the foreign key:
.. code-block:: python
db.table("books").add_foreign_key(
"author_id", "authors", "id", on_delete="CASCADE"
)
This creates a foreign key with an ``ON DELETE CASCADE`` clause, so deleting an author will also delete their books (provided foreign key enforcement is enabled with ``PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON``). Valid actions are ``"SET NULL"``, ``"SET DEFAULT"``, ``"CASCADE"``, ``"RESTRICT"`` and the default ``"NO ACTION"``.

Renaming a column with ``rename=`` updates any foreign keys that use it, and dropping a column with ``drop=`` also drops any foreign keys it participates in - for a compound foreign key this removes the whole constraint.

The ``.foreign_keys`` property returns any foreign key relationships for the table, as a list of ``ForeignKey`` objects. It is not available on views.
Each ``ForeignKey`` has the following attributes:
``table``
The table the foreign key is defined on.
``column``
The column on this table, or ``None`` for a compound foreign key.
``other_table``
The table being referenced.
``other_column``
The referenced column, or ``None`` for a compound foreign key.
``columns``
A tuple of the columns on this table, always populated (a one-item tuple for single-column foreign keys).
``other_columns``
A tuple of the referenced columns.
``is_compound``
``True`` if this is a compound (multi-column) foreign key.
``on_delete``
The ``ON DELETE`` action, e.g. ``"CASCADE"`` - ``"NO ACTION"`` if not set.
``on_update``
The ``ON UPDATE`` action - ``"NO ACTION"`` if not set.
``ForeignKey`` was a ``namedtuple`` prior to sqlite-utils 4.0. It is now a dataclass and can no longer be unpacked or indexed as a tuple - access its fields by name instead. See :ref:`upgrading_3_to_4` for details.

**View.enable_fts() has been removed.** The ``View`` class previously had an ``enable_fts()`` method that existed only to raise ``NotImplementedError`` - full-text search is not supported for views. Calling it now raises ``AttributeError`` like any other missing method.
**ForeignKey is now a dataclass, not a namedtuple.** The ``ForeignKey`` objects returned by ``table.foreign_keys`` gained new fields - ``columns``, ``other_columns``, ``is_compound``, ``on_delete`` and ``on_update`` - so that compound (multi-column) foreign keys and foreign key actions can be represented. To make room for those fields cleanly ``ForeignKey`` is now a dataclass rather than a ``namedtuple``, so it can no longer be unpacked or indexed as a tuple. Access its fields by name instead:
.. code-block:: python
# 3.x - tuple unpacking, no longer works:
for table, column, other_table, other_column in db["courses"].foreign_keys:
...
# 4.0 - access fields by name:
for fk in db["courses"].foreign_keys:
fk.table, fk.column, fk.other_table, fk.other_column
Attempting the old unpacking or ``fk[0]`` indexing now raises ``TypeError``, so any code using those patterns will fail loudly rather than silently misbehave.
Compound foreign keys - previously returned as one ``ForeignKey`` per column, misleadingly suggesting several independent single-column keys - are now returned as a single ``ForeignKey`` with ``is_compound=True``. For these the scalar ``column`` and ``other_column`` fields are ``None``; use the ``columns`` and ``other_columns`` tuples instead. Single-column foreign keys are unaffected apart from the class change: ``column``/``other_column`` behave as before and ``columns``/``other_columns`` are one-item tuples.
Two related behavior changes to ``table.transform()``: compound foreign keys now survive a transform (previously they were split into separate single-column keys), and ``ON DELETE``/``ON UPDATE`` actions such as ``ON DELETE CASCADE`` are now preserved (previously they were silently stripped from the schema).
**Validation errors raise ValueError.** Invalid arguments to Python API methods - for example ``create_table()`` with no columns, or ``ignore=True`` together with ``replace=True`` - now raise ``ValueError``. They previously raised ``AssertionError`` from bare ``assert`` statements, which were silently skipped under ``python -O``.
**Transaction behavior is now well-defined.** 4.0 introduces the :ref:`db.atomic() <python_api_atomic>` context manager and uses it consistently for every write operation - the full model is described in :ref:`python_api_transactions`. Changes you may notice:
