7d43fd50e1 transform() now round-trips compound foreign keys, refs #594
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)

577f3011e5 Create tables with compound foreign keys, refs #594
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.

d5bf51df35 Fix TypeError when sorting mixed compound/single foreign keys
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.

f10459cffb table.foreign_keys now handles compound foreign keys, refs #594
This is a breaking change, since the return type is now a dataclass
and not a namedtuple.
