   Update: after discussing with the SPIP authors' design doc, which says OSS 
has a single kind of file that behaves like an external file, `FileType` is now 
a single mode-less type (a singleton like `VariantType`) instead of carrying a 
managed/external mode. `FILE` and `FILE EXTERNAL` both parse to it, a field's 
JSON is always `"file"`, and `toDDL` declares columns as `FILE EXTERNAL`. The 
description is updated. Requiring `EXTERNAL` in table column definitions is 
left to the table DDL part.
