By default Postgresql and SqlServer create index using write lock (exclusive lock) on table. This makes application unusable durng migration, if index creation is long (big table), leading to downtime wich is not suitable in production.
Currentrly creating indexex concurrently is possible only with DB::statement method. This PR adds ability to use it online() method in index definition.
Tried different names for IndexDefinition method (withoutLock, noLock, concurrently). Selected "online", as it's most widely used terminology. See https://mariadb.com/docs/server/server-usage/storage-engines/innodb/innodb-online-ddl/innodb-online-ddl-overview , https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/indexes/perform-index-operations-online?view=sql-server-ver16 .
Currently postgresql uses add constraint command for unique indexes, which does not support Concurently option. For such case two commands are used (create index and add constraint), as described in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/sql-altertable.html#SQL-ALTERTABLE-DESC-ADD-TABLE-CONSTRAINT-USING-INDEX
