Adds an `unknownLength` connection property that can be used to configure the length that the JDBC driver should return as the data type / column length when this is not known. Spanner does not return the (maximum) length of a column in ResultSetMetadata. This means that the JDBC driver does not know what the length is of the various columns in query results. The value of `unknownLength` will be returned when the getPrecision and getColumnDisplaySize methods of ResultSetMetaData are called. This connection property aligns with the same connection parameter in the PostgreSQL JDBC driver: https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/use/#connection-parameters
