[Bug] Columns using TypeConverter are always stored with TEXT

[DreierF]

DBFlow Version: 4.1.2
Issue Kind (Bug, Question, Feature): Bug

Please note if you are using Instant Run, there may be bugs where generated classes are not created. Ensure you are using
the apt or kapt plugins and that incremental compilation is off.

Description:
Previous versions of dbFlow (I'm migrating from 3.1.1) did respect the return type of the custom type converter. For the example below a column of type BLOB was created in sqlite for thumbnail:

@Column(typeConverter = ThumbnailConverter.class)
public Thumbnail thumbnail;

public final class ThumbnailConverter extends TypeConverter<Blob, Thumbnail> {
    ...
}

In 4.1.2 I get a column of type TEXT regardless of the type I convert my object to (Blob above, but also happens for all other types). Is this new behavior expected?

Wanna join since I have the same issue migrating from 3.1.1.

We use LocalDate as a primary key for one of our models and a TypeConverter to make the long out of it.

What 3.1.1 was generating in ModelWithLocalDate_Adapter:

"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ModelWithLocalDate`(`day` INTEGER,`someField` TEXT, PRIMARY KEY(`day`) ON CONFLICT REPLACE" + ");"

And here is what I am getting with 4.1.2 in ModelWithLocalDate_Table:

"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ModelWithLocalDate`(`day` TEXT, `assignments` TEXT, PRIMARY KEY(`day`) ON CONFLICT REPLACE)"

Is there are a chance to get a workaround for that?
