add Employee custom fields: citizenship_country, residence_permit_fin, residence_permit_not_available

Fields added as Small Text (TEXT in MySQL) to bypass tabEmployee's 65535-byte
row size limit. Added two pre_model_sync patches to fix row format and add
columns directly before Frappe schema sync runs.
