Fix: Enum8 and AggregateFunction dropped

 ### Bug fixes
 * Preserve `LowCardinality(...)` and `Nullable(...)` wrappers from `HasColumnType(...)` in generated migration DDL. Previously the wrapper was stripped during type-mapping resolution, so the migration emitted the inner type. ([#18](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse.EntityFrameworkCore/issues/18))
+* Preserve explicit `HasColumnType(...)` text whenever the resolved mapping's canonical store type differs from the user's input — fixes `Enum8(...)` and `AggregateFunction(...)` columns silently emitting `String` in generated DDL. Also covers `Enum16`, `SimpleAggregateFunction`, `Nested`, and the parameter-bearing forms (`Decimal128(S)`, `Json(...)` with type hints, etc.). ([#24](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse.EntityFrameworkCore/issues/24))

+### Bug fixes
+* `HasColumnType("Enum8(...)")`, `HasColumnType("AggregateFunction(...)")`, and similar parameterized or aliased store types are now preserved verbatim in generated migration DDL. Previously these silently emitted `String` because the resolver canonicalized to a generic fallback mapping. ([#24](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse.EntityFrameworkCore/issues/24))
