Nested set: hardcoded property names for nsleft/nsright

[steerio]

Issue type:

[x] question
[ ] bug report
[x] feature request
[ ] documentation issue

Database system/driver:

[ ] cordova
[ ] mongodb
[ ] mssql
[ ] mysql / mariadb
[ ] oracle
[ ] postgres
[ ] cockroachdb
[ ] sqlite
[ ] sqljs
[ ] react-native
[ ] expo

TypeORM version:

[x] latest
[ ] @next
[ ] 0.x.x (or put your version here)

Steps to reproduce or a small repository showing the problem:

I need to work with a legacy database, and modifying the column names is off the table. Some of the tables are nested sets, which is fine, as TypeORM supports that.

It appears, though, that the names of the left and right columns are not configurable through the decorators, they are all hardcoded in EntityMetadataBuilder to be nsleft and nsright respectively.

Is there a reason behind this decision?
