    Reviewers

    Django 4.2 introduced table comments. These are comments that are part
    of the table schema, describing a table, and are supported in MySQL 8+
    and Postgres 12+ (the minimum versions that Django 4.2 supports), but
    not SQLite.

    This supports signature storage of table comments and evolutions via
    ChangeMeta.

    This functionality is required for Django 4.2 support, as this is
    introspected on our mock models, and we don't want to risk storing empty
    values or misleading the backend. Fortunately, as we can piggy-back on
    SchemaEditor, support is easy to add and maintain going forward.

    Ran unit tests for SQLite, Postgres, and MySQL on a range of database
    versions on Python 3.11 and 3.12, Django 3.2-4.2, which should provide
    sufficient coverage for this feature.
