special methods

These methods, when defined, are called by Sedentary at specific lifecycle events:

• construct() — called after the entry is created (not for loaded entries). See Entries initialization.

• preLoad() / postLoad() — before/after loading from the database

• preSave() / postSave(savedRecords) — before/after saving

• preRemove() / postRemove(deletedRecords) — before/after removing

• preCommit(actions) / postCommit(actions) — before/after a transaction commits

All are optional and have empty default implementations in the base entry class.
