Description
mariadb has a native uuid type since 10.7. We already have:
- uuid -> char(36)
- binaryuuid -> binary(16)
Can we also add a "nativeuuid" type? In terms of PDO it's string so it can be easily supported in cake as well.
What do you think?

Research direction
No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the existing uuid and binaryuuid type definitions and the MariaDB platform handling, then check how MariaDB 10.7 native UUID columns are represented through PDO. Done means a nativeuuid type is supported without changing the existing uuid or binaryuuid mappings, with relevant tests passing.
