[Feature]: Add sql-datatype to the SDK discovery and catalog.  #1323

Open

Description

Feature scope

Taps (catalog, state, stream maps, etc.)

Description

It would be very helpful if SDK based taps during the discovery process of a database grabbed column data types and placed them into the catalog metadata area for the column in the field of sql-datatype. The sql-datatype field is a reserved keyword mentioned in the singer discovery documentation.

            "sql-datatype": "varchar(255)",
            "selected-by-default": true
