add more hooks for MapperProperty in save_obj/delete_obj, create simple FileColumn class

Issue #99 resolved
Mike Bayer repo owner created an issue

we have DeferredColumnProperty as a good example of a customized column loader, but there should be a way for these column properties to more accurately affect the save process. basically, the test case is a FileColumn that stores its data in a file. while the execute method can easily be used to load data in, the save_obj method in mapper will need to call some new method on MapperProperty that indicates "tell me if I need to add you to my property list", and then "ok, youre not in my UPDATE statement, so do what you have to to save yourself".

    going to blue sky this for now. seems more like a proof of concept rather than something people really need at the moment. if any "we need to save column X in some goofy way" requests come up, then the change to mapper might be more warranted; but there havent been any as of yet.
