To accommodate how mapped_column() works, after many
attempts to get this working it became clear that _copy()
should just transfer "nullable" state exactly as it was,
including the state where .nullable was set but user_defined_nullable
remains at not user set.
additionally, added a similar step to _merge() that was needed
to preserve the nullability behavior when Identity is present.
server / client default objects are not copied within column._copy()
and this should be fixed.
Fixes: #8410
