Feature: Adding a custom validation error message when defining fields with assert.

[henokmengistu]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

After defining fields with assert when the wrong value is inserted it returns Surreal db error. I want to specify a specific error message for each of the fields submitted that failed the assertion rule.

Describe the solution

When defining a field with a define command there is an option to add an assertion rule with the assert keyword. While this feature works fine there is an issue in specifying a custom error message when the assertion failed when a user created or updated a field.
so if we could add an optional message keyword to specify what the custom error should look like on every asserting it would really be great for the user experience and for not doing things multiple times.

here is an example script:
DEFINE FIELD email ON TABLE user TYPE string ASSERT string::is::email($value) message "Email should be valid!";

Alternative methods

I currently have no alternative methods.

SurrealDB version

1.4.0 for linux on x86_64
