Simon Willison b37b8cf8c8 Preserve column before/after comments through .transform()
Refs #762

The before comment comes before the column definition - the after
comment is anything after it but before its trailing comma.

"""Helpers for parsing CHECK constraints from SQLite CREATE TABLE SQL.
SQLite does not expose CHECK constraints through a pragma, so preserving them
across a table rebuild requires reading ``sqlite_schema.sql``. This module is
deliberately small, but it uses a real lexer: strings, quoted identifiers and
comments are opaque, every token retains its source span and malformed input is
reported instead of being silently under-parsed.
