Added Always First Functionality

[CaptCorpMURICA]

This pull request resolves #164.

• This enables the new file type F__*.sql which is processed before all other file types.
• This option defaults to False but can be enabled with the configuration -af or --always-first. This ensures that these files can be selectively executed depending on the environment.
  • e.g. In the CI/CD pipeline, you enable this configuration option when you need to clone the production environment to create the QA environment. However, this option is turned off for the elevation from QA to Prod because no cloning operation is taking place.
• Tests were added to ensure the functionality works as designed. These tests cove:
  • Returning the proper number of files executed when the option is turned on or off.
  • Returning expected errors based on naming conventions.
  • Validating the appropriate data for the Change History Table.
• Added this new functionality to the README documentation.

I just welcomed my first child, so I haven't had the ability to implement the requested changes. I'll try to get it wrapped up in the next month or so.

It'd be great to add into the README file along with the other prefix file name section

Can we bump this? I would need this functionality in production already.

Wondering if the CLI enhancement and release 4.3.0 will help address the requirement here. We don't want to introduce new file types just yet. Can someone atleast rebase the changes to 4.3.0 and lets see how much of a change will this feature be ?

This functionality could be acheived by running schemachange twice and segementing the First scripts in a seperate directory and use the existing always run prefix. Then running again on the primary directory. maybe we can add an example of this structure instead as a CI tooling example?
