ForeignKey objects passed to db.add_foreign_keys() were flattened to
plain (table, column, other_table, other_column) tuples before being
handed to transform(), silently discarding their on_delete and
on_update actions. The method now carries ForeignKey objects through
to transform() intact - tuple inputs are converted to ForeignKey
objects up front, which also simplifies the validation loop.

ForeignKey.columns and .other_columns are now tuples rather than lists,
both when introspected and when constructed directly (lists are
normalized in __post_init__). Tuples are now the documented form for
specifying compound foreign keys everywhere - in create_table()
foreign_keys=, add_foreign_key() and drop_foreign_keys=:
foreign_keys=[(("campus_name", "dept_code"), "departments")]
Lists continue to work as input but are no longer documented.

New ForeignKeyColumns type alias - a column name or a list/tuple of
column names - used by add_foreign_key(), add_foreign_keys() (via the
ForeignKeyTuple alias, replacing its Any slots) and the
ForeignKeyIndicator union, which it also simplifies. Tuples now
type-check anywhere lists are accepted.
ForeignKey.__post_init__ normalizes tuple columns/other_columns to
lists so direct construction with tuples compares equal to
introspected foreign keys.

For foreign keys declared as "REFERENCES other_table" with no explicit
columns, PRAGMA foreign_key_list returns None for the referenced
column. The foreign_keys property now resolves these to the other
table's primary key columns, so other_column=None unambiguously
indicates a compound foreign key.

ForeignKey gains on_delete and on_update fields (default "NO ACTION"),
populated from PRAGMA foreign_key_list. create_table_sql() renders the
corresponding clauses for both inline and compound table-level foreign
keys, which means table.transform() now preserves actions such as
ON DELETE CASCADE - previously they were silently stripped whenever a
table was transformed.

table.add_foreign_key() and db.add_foreign_keys() now accept lists of
column names to create compound foreign keys:
table.add_foreign_key(
["campus_name", "dept_code"], "departments"
)
Omitting the other columns uses the compound primary key of the other
table. Duplicate detection compares the full column lists.
db.index_foreign_keys() now creates a single composite index across the
columns of a compound foreign key, rather than an index per column.

Compound foreign keys are passed through table.transform() intact
instead of being degraded to per-column single foreign keys:
- rename= applies to each member column of a compound key
- drop= of any member column drops the whole constraint, matching
the existing single-column behavior
- drop_foreign_keys= accepts a bare column name (drops any foreign
key that column participates in) or a tuple of columns (drops the
compound key with exactly those columns)

create_table() and friends now accept compound foreign keys, specified
as lists of column names in the existing tuple forms:
foreign_keys=[
(["campus_name", "dept_code"], "departments"),
(["campus_name", "dept_code"], "departments", ["campus_name", "dept_code"]),
]
The two-item form guesses the compound primary key of the other table.
Compound keys are rendered as table-level FOREIGN KEY constraints,
while single-column keys keep their inline REFERENCES clauses.

sorted() on a foreign_keys list containing both compound (column=None)
and single-column ForeignKeys raised TypeError because dataclass
ordering compared None against str. column/other_column are now
excluded from comparison - ordering and equality use the always
populated columns/other_columns lists instead.
