Steps to reproduce or a small repository showing the problem:

It would be nice if ViewEntities supported the { synchronize: false } option like entities or index. This would enable similar workaround to database-specific feature definitions (i.e. in #1519 an backend-specific index is created which is not synchronized by typeorm directly).

Until #3996 were ready, we could construct the view in a migration and not synchronize it so that we could use the materialize view as a typeorm ViewEntity.

// migration
...
query(`
  create materialized view mymaterializedview as select 1 as id;
`)
...

// materialized view
@ViewEntity('mymaterializedview', { synchronize: false })
class MyMaterializedView {
  @ViewColumn()
  id: string
}

Also note that for this to work, naturally you'd have to specify the name of the view in the ViewEntity definition which I don't believe is currently being done either.
