feat: add comprehensive JSON/JSONB support with path operations

- Add JSON path operations (->>) for CEL field access on JSON/JSONB columns
- Support nested JSON field access in CEL expressions
- Add comprehensive test coverage for JSON/JSONB operations
- Update test data with realistic JSON structures
- All tests passing with PostgreSQL compatibility
