Implement :: syntax for pg_catalog types in TypeCast method

- Add isPgCatalogType helper method to detect pg_catalog types and aliases
- Modify TypeCast method to use :: syntax for pg_catalog types
- Preserve CAST() syntax for qualified bpchar types to maintain AST consistency
- Update test cases and snapshots for castings and pg-catalog tests
- All 267 test suites pass including kitchen-sink tests
