A `UniqueConstraint` requires a `name` argument, but is declared optional
(`=None`) in its signature. If `name` is omitted a `ValueError` is raised.
This may be confusing to developers.

The `name` argument was first made optional in the signature in commit
[3aa545281], which introduced support for functional unique constraints,
addressing ticket #30016.

Fixed #36808 -- Required name argument in UniqueConstraint signature.
