Description

Currently, PersistSettings only allows you to modify the name generation for foreign keys. It'd be good if we could generally customize the unique key names too.

Research direction

Start by locating PersistSettings and the existing foreign-key name customization, then trace how unique key SQL names are generated across the supported storage backends. Add corresponding configuration coverage and verify that customized unique key names are used consistently; the issue is old and does not identify specific files or tests.
