Description
Fixtures in unit tests can be set up using an explicit table name - but there's no way (that I can see) to actually create the table in the time between the test DB being created and fixtures being loaded.
This PR adds a way for tests to do that.
See silverstripe/silverstripe-linkfield#253 for an example of how this works.
