ALTER TABLE COLUMN calls error out unless the constraint is properly removed prior. This removes the logic of determining if the default changes, as the database doesn't care if it does or not.
TEXT types have been deprecated for years and VARCHAR(MAX) has been the recommended type to use. This changes the translation to use nvarchar(max) instead. Also ensures that there isn't a limit set when retrieving text columns, to keep this abstracted away.

The first commit of this PR handles #1972, which is to remove the use of NTEXT and replace it with NVARCHAR(MAX). The existing NTEXT and TEXT parsing to the Phinx TEXT type still exists for compatibility reasons.
The second commit forces default constraints to always be dropped and readded, as SQL Server requires this to be removed if the column is ever changed.
