Support for already existing databases

Hi @chenmela

That is definitely a feature to add.

I can add a new StartVersion parameter.
During migration if this parameter is set, a new record (type=3) is inserted in the metadata table.
Evolve will then ignore all migrations until this version, excluded.

Note:

• Only one StartVersion should be allowed by database, if not an exception is thrown.
• No migration must have already been applied, if not an exception is thrown.
• Because the database schema was not empty when Evolve first started, the Erase command sould not be allowed.

What do you think about it ?

This sounds reasonable to me.

Done in version 1.3.0
