- Implement parse_columns table function for extracting column references from SQL queries
- Support schema-qualified column references (schema.table.column.field)
- Handle nested struct field access with full path resolution
- Track column usage context (select, where, function_arg, order_by, etc.)
- Provide expression_identifiers showing all column paths in complex expressions
- Include selected_name for output column tracking and alias analysis
- Enable complete SQL dependency analysis alongside existing function and table parsing

Features:
- Individual column reference extraction with context tracking
- Complex expression analysis with dependency mapping
- Alias chain support for SELECT clause analysis
- Nested struct field navigation (my_schema.users.profile.address.city)
- Function argument column tracking
- NULL values for missing data instead of empty strings

- Add test_column_parsing.sql with 20+ test scenarios covering basic columns,
  schema-qualified columns, alias chains, complex expressions, nested struct
  fields, and various SQL contexts (WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, etc.)
- Add test_column_parsing_core.sql for essential functionality verification
- Add unified_analyzer_v2.sql integrating column analysis with existing
  function and table parsing using correct DuckDB table function syntax
- Unified analyzer now provides complete SQL dependency analysis across
  functions, tables, and columns with existence checking and suggestions

- Add test/sql/parse_tools/table_functions/parse_columns.test with 25+ test cases
  covering basic columns, schema qualification, alias chains, multi-table joins,
  nested struct fields, different SQL contexts, and complex expressions
- Add test/sql/parse_tools/table_functions/parse_columns_edge_cases.test with
  edge cases including NULL handling, deeply nested expressions, self-joins,
  and error conditions
- Add test/sql/parse_tools/scalar_functions/parse_columns.test placeholder
  for future scalar function implementation
- Tests follow DuckDB extension test format with proper require statements
  and comprehensive coverage of all column parsing features
- Verified functionality with manual testing showing correct parsing of
  alias chains, nested struct access, and complex SQL expressions

- Add column parsing to main features list with key capabilities:
  alias chain tracking, nested struct field access, input/output distinction
- Document new column context types (select, where, function_arg, etc.)
- Add comprehensive parse_columns() function documentation with:
  * Complete parameter and return value descriptions
  * Basic column reference examples
  * Alias chain parsing example showing dependency tracking
  * Nested struct field access example
  * Multi-table JOIN examples
- Update overview and limitations to include column parsing
- Add column_parser_examples.sql for demonstration

Column parsing provides complete SQL dependency analysis alongside
existing table and function parsing capabilities.

Will do! I just noticed them the other day but am AFK for a bit.

Fix bad test case
- Add error handling for malformed SQL and empty queries to prevent segfaults
- Add proper QueryNodeType checking to handle UNION queries gracefully
- Update test expected results to match actual parse_columns behavior
- Document current limitations for JOIN conditions and UNION queries
- Fix edge cases with complex expressions and quoted identifiers

I've fixed the tests (and a segfault we found along the way). There's still one build still going but it looks good so far.
