Add the ability to provide "deploy notes"

Trying to understand the use case here. AFAICT, this is one of the use cases for tags. Have you considered making releases with tag names (or version numbers) rather than...

Add the ability to provide "deploy notes"

If you just want something in the plan to indicate a release, but don't want to check it in or change the values in the plan, just a note, you...

feature: support transcode to/from JSON, and to/from CBOR using different options

Today I figured out how to add a tag so that `json.Number` values round-trip correctly. Is this the recommended approach? ```go tags := cbor.NewTagSet() tags.Add( cbor.TagOptions{EncTag: cbor.EncTagRequired, DecTag: cbor.DecTagRequired}, reflect.TypeOf(json.Number("")),...

feature: support transcode to/from JSON, and to/from CBOR using different options

I updated the above example, as last week the CBOR project and IANA accepted [JSON Number String Tag for CBOR](https://gist.github.com/theory/ef667af1c725240e6e30d525786d58e6) and assigned it tag `284`.

`sqitch upgrade` should create schema if not exists

I've often thought an `init` command that just creates the registry would be handy, but never needed it and no one has asked — until now. At any rate, You...

WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT SQL.SQLCODE is not safe on UNIX

Oh man, that's wild. Would `WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT FAILURE` fix it? The Exasol engine [uses](https://github.com/sqitchers/sqitch/blob/5522821bdee36523bc9ab36d7c550834ca2c2748/lib/App/Sqitch/Engine/exasol.pm#L485) `WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT 4` instead. I have no clue what's right for either of these...

WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT SQL.SQLCODE is not safe on UNIX

[This is wild](https://stackoverflow.com/a/40720732/79202). Maybe should do `EXIT 4`, if only because in some places Sqitch thinks of error code 1 as more of a warning. Not as much as it...
