CharisandJoshen Lim 2ac052752a fix(pg-meta): fix invalid SQL when setting column default to NULL (#50097)
## Summary

- Fixes invalid SQL generation when setting a column's default value to
NULL through Studio's Table Editor
- The bug occurred because raw `null` values bypassed literal
serialization in the SQL builder
- Added special case handling in both `create()` and `update()`
functions to use `literal(null)` regardless of format

## Details

Setting a column's default to NULL via the "Set as NULL" suggestion in
Studio generated invalid SQL: `ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN ... SET
DEFAULT ;` (missing the NULL keyword). This was caused by
`default_value` being JS `null` and bypassing the literal()
serialization function when `default_value_format === 'expression'`.

The fix ensures that when `default_value === null`, we always use
`literal(null)` to produce the correct `SET DEFAULT NULL` clause.

## Test plan

- New regression test in `packages/pg-meta/test/columns.test.ts`
("update column default value to NULL via expression format") verifies
the fix by:
  - Creating a text column with a literal default
- Updating it using `default_value_format: 'expression', default_value:
null` (exact payload from Studio)
  - Asserting the column's default value is null
- All 58 tests in `packages/pg-meta/test/columns.test.ts` pass
- TypeScript check (`tsc --noEmit`) passes

Fixes FE-4343

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Fixed column creation and updates so explicitly setting a default
value to `NULL` correctly preserves the `DEFAULT NULL` clause.
- Ensured setting a column default to `NULL` through expression-based
editing is reflected accurately when column details are retrieved.

- **Style**
- Improved the column editor’s suggestion menu layout and spacing for
clearer readability.

- **Tests**
  - Added coverage for updating a column default to `NULL`.
