Wyatt AltandClaude Fable 5.1 1f95398c34 feat: function columns on materialized views (#4119)
A view could not carry a column it does not compute: the definition
planned every output as a SQL expression, and the refresh engine treated
any commit it did not make as drift and rebuilt. Servers fill such
columns on tables with a separate job, as computed columns bound to a
registered function, and want the same column on a view.

This lets a declaration add computed columns, placed at their positions
in the select list and validated by the existing computed-column
contract, with the view created in one commit. Refresh writes those
columns NULL on every path and never reads them, so a rewritten row
comes back unfilled, and a commit that rewrites only computed columns is
recognised as a fill rather than drift, so the next refresh carries on
incrementally. A source column a computed column reads without the view
projecting it is held as an internal projection, so the select list
stays the view's column list. Nothing in the stored definition changes;
an older reader fails closed on the schema check.

Two smaller changes ride along because the feature needs them: an
identity projection keeps its source column's nullability, with the
schema check accepting a nullable physical field for a non-null planned
one so existing views keep refreshing; and `prepare_declaration` takes
`Option` projections, so an empty list declares no projection rather
than `SELECT *`.
