Base class for migration operations.

(see db/migrations/state.py) to represent what it performs, as well
as actually performing it against a live database.
Note that some operations won't modify memory state at all (e.g. data
copying operations), and some will need their modifications to be
optionally specified by the user (e.g. custom Python code snippets)
