Description

Right now we have custom options at the Meta class, example `auto_refresh`:

```python
class RefreshModel(CrateModel):
field2 = models.TextField()

class Meta:
app_label = "test_app"
auto_refresh = True
```

But we are doing Metaclass shenanigans to a accomplish this due lo the lack of extensibility of the django internals.

Research direction

Start with the custom Meta option example in the issue and read the linked Django forum discussion about extra database-specific options. Define the Django extension point needed to support custom attributes without metaclass workarounds; done means the requested options are supported through Django itself.
