Define standard ClickHouse Views for read-time projections

# Modeling Views

## Overview
Views are read-time projections in ClickHouse. A static `SELECT` defines the view over one or more base tables or other views. Moose wraps [ClickHouse `VIEW`](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/create/view) with a simple `View` class in TypeScript. You provide the view name, the `SELECT`, and the list of source tables/views so Moose can order DDL correctly during migrations.

Use `View` when you want a virtual read-time projection and don’t need write-time transformation or a separate storage table. For write-time pipelines and backfills, use a Materialized View instead.
