1. cli,sql: add another crutch to the handling of column types in dump …

   There are major problems in `cockroach dump` described separately in
   cockroachdb#28948.
   
   Part of this is `cockroach dump` trying to reverse-engineering a datum
   type from the announced column type in `information_schema.columns`,
   by parsing the type name. Prior to this patch, this parsing was
   incomplete (it went out of sync with the SQL parser over time,
   naturally as it was bound to do).
   
   This entire approach is flawed, but this is no time to redesign
   `cockroach dump`. Instead, this patch re-syncs the dump-specific type
   parser with the general SQL parser.
   
   Release note (bug fix): `cockroach dump` is now again better able to
   operate across multiple CockroachDB versions.
