Migrations won't work if field signature changes

Description

If the __init__ signature of a model field changes in the way that e.g. a positional argument is added / removed and doesn't replace / isn't replaced by a previously existing keyword argument, the old migration files won't work any more because the rely on the actual __init__ signature to create an instance of the field.

This should be documented in the respective custom field and migration docs.
