Fixes #32617
Port of #32662
Description
In EF 8 we augmented the generated compiled model with type mappings, however some aspects weren't preserved, in particular whether a given string property accepts Unicode and whether it has a fixed length.
Customer impact
When using a compiled model with unicode properties queries involving those properties will use non-unicode behavior, potentially resulting in data corruption.
How found
Customer report on 8.0.
Regression
Yes.
Testing
Tests added.
Risk
Low.
