Optimise PostgresMetadataFetcher

[suddendust]

Description

I observed that querying information_schema for table metadata was much slower than querying pg_catalog for the same. See the following logs:

With information_schema:

2026-03-26 06:45:10.459 [pool-5-thread-3] INFO  o.h.c.d.p.PostgresLazyilyLoadedSchemaRegistry - {entityId=7a44307e-b93b-37a9-b53d-75fc07c713c3, entityType=API, requestId=b, shadowEventId=6bae0afe-6774-4cf5-b314-359ff396bb27, tenantId=3e761879-c77b-4d8f-a075-62ff28e8fa8c, writeType=CREATE_OR_REPLACE} Successfully loaded schema for table: entities_api_shadow, columns: 133, durationMs: 39

With pg_catalog:

2026-03-26 06:45:10.459 [pool-5-thread-3] INFO  o.h.c.d.p.PostgresLazyilyLoadedSchemaRegistry - {entityId=7a44307e-b93b-37a9-b53d-75fc07c713c3, entityType=API, requestId=b, shadowEventId=6bae0afe-6774-4cf5-b314-359ff396bb27, tenantId=3e761879-c77b-4d8f-a075-62ff28e8fa8c, writeType=CREATE_OR_REPLACE} Successfully loaded schema for table: entities_api_shadow, columns: 133, durationMs: 39

This is ~ 26x faster.

Testing

Tested both version in an sandbox env.
