feat: Thread adapter through declare.py for backend-agnostic DDL (Phase 7 Part 2)

Update declare.py, table.py, and lineage.py to use database adapter methods
for all DDL generation, making CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements
backend-agnostic.

declare.py changes:
- Updated substitute_special_type() to use adapter.core_type_to_sql()
- Updated compile_attribute() to use adapter.format_column_definition()
- Updated compile_foreign_key() to use adapter.quote_identifier()
- Updated compile_index() to use adapter.quote_identifier()
- Updated prepare_declare() to accept and pass adapter parameter
- Updated declare() to:
  * Accept adapter parameter
  * Return additional_ddl list (5th return value)
  * Parse table names without assuming backticks
  * Use adapter.job_metadata_columns() for job metadata
  * Use adapter.quote_identifier() for PRIMARY KEY clause
  * Use adapter.table_options_clause() for ENGINE/table options
  * Generate table comment DDL for PostgreSQL via adapter.table_comment_ddl()
- Updated alter() to accept and pass adapter parameter
- Updated _make_attribute_alter() to:
  * Accept adapter parameter
  * Use adapter.quote_identifier() in DROP, CHANGE, and AFTER clauses
  * Build regex patterns using adapter's quote character

table.py changes:
- Pass connection.adapter to declare() call
- Handle additional_ddl return value from declare()
- Execute additional DDL statements after CREATE TABLE
- Pass connection.adapter to alter() call

lineage.py changes:
- Updated ensure_lineage_table() to use adapter methods:
  * adapter.quote_identifier() for table and column names
  * adapter.format_column_definition() for column definitions
  * adapter.table_options_clause() for table options

Benefits:
- MySQL backend generates identical SQL as before (100% backward compatible)
- PostgreSQL backend now generates proper DDL with double quotes and COMMENT ON
- All DDL generation is now backend-agnostic
- No hardcoded backticks, ENGINE clauses, or inline COMMENT syntax

All unit tests pass. Pre-commit hooks pass.

Part of multi-backend PostgreSQL support implementation.
