A storage schema that supports entity types with dynamic field definitions.

A storage schema that implements this interface can react to the entity type's field definitions changing, due to modules being installed or uninstalled, or via field UI, or via code changes to the entity class.

For example, configurable fields defined and exposed by field.module.

     *   field.
     * - There are existing field values, but the schema changes can be applied
     *   without losing them (e.g., if the schema changes can be performed by
     *   altering tables rather than dropping and recreating them).
     * - The only field values that would be lost are ones that are not valid for
     *   the new definition (e.g., if changing a field from revisionable to
     *   non-revisionable, then it's okay to drop data for the non-default
     *   revision).
     *

     * migration or invoke some custom update process.
