* Merged PR 1952906: JSON_ARRAYAGG support for OVER clause

# Pull Request Template for ScriptDom
## Description
`JSON_ARRAYAGG` supports windowed aggregate usage via the `OVER (PARTITION BY ...)` clause in SQL Server, but ScriptDOM was missing support for parsing and generating it. This PR adds OVER clause support for `JSON_ARRAYAGG` in the TSql170 parser and script generator.

**SQL syntax now supported:**
```sql
SELECT JSON_ARRAYAGG(name) OVER (PARTITION BY dept) FROM employees;
SELECT JSON_ARRAYAGG(name ABSENT ON NULL) OVER (PARTITION BY dept) FROM employees;
SELECT JSON_ARRAYAGG(name NULL ON NULL) OVER (PARTITION BY dept) FROM employees;
SELECT JSON_ARRAYAGG(name ORDER BY name NULL ON NULL RETURNING JSON) OVER (PARTITION BY dept) FROM employees;
```

* Merged PR 1948594: Fix allocation issue in TSql80ParserBaseInternal.AddAndUpdateTokenInfo
High memory allocations were detected in the `TSql80ParserBaseInternal.AddAndUpdateTokenInfo` method, specifically in the overload that processes collections. The method uses a `foreach` loop to iterate over an `IList<TFragmentType>` collection, which causes the allocation of a boxed `List.Enumerator` object on every invocation. Since this is a hot path in the SQL parser (called frequently during parsing operations), these repeated allocations contribute significantly to GC pressure.

Performance impact: This issue appears in 0.28% of high allocation traces and allocates 3.0 MB/sec at both the 50th and 90th percentiles.

## Solution

Replaced the `foreach` loop with an index-based `for` loop in the `AddAndUpdateTokenInfo` method. The new implementation iterates using an integer index from 0 to `otherCollection.Count`, accessing each element via the indexer. This eliminates the enumerator allocation while preserving identical functionality and behavior.

The change is made in `/SqlScriptDom/Parser/TSql/TSql80ParserBaseInternal.cs` at lines 292-299.

**Before:**
```csharp
foreach (TFragmentType item in otherCollection)
{
    AddAndUpdateTokenInfo(node, collection, item);
}
```

**After:**
```csharp
for (int i = 0; i < otherCollection.Count; i++)
{
    TFragmentType item = otherCollection[i];
    AddAndUpdateTokenInfo(node, collection, item);
}
```

## Benefits

- Eliminates boxing allocation of `List.Enumerator` on hot path
- Reduces GC pressure and improves parser performance
- Maintains identical behavior and semantics
- Minimal code change with no API modifications

* Merged PR 1881483: Add support for 3-part and 4-part identifiers in VECTOR_SEARCH TOP_N parameter

<!-- COPILOT_AI_GENERATED_START -->

## Summary

This PR enables the VECTOR_SEARCH table-valued function to accept 3-part and 4-part column identifiers in the TOP_N parameter, allowing queries like:

```sql
SELECT qt.qid, src.id, ann.distance
FROM QueryTable qt
CROSS APPLY
    VECTOR_SEARCH(
        TABLE = graphnode AS src,
        COLUMN = embedding,
        SIMILAR_TO = qt.qembedding,
        METRIC = &#39;euclidean&#39;,
        TOP_N = dbo.qt.top_n  -- 3-part identifier now supported
    ) AS ann
```

Previously, the parser only accepted up to 2-part identifiers (e.g., `qt.top_n`) in the TOP_N parameter, which prevented queries using schema-qualified column references in CROSS APPLY scenarios.

## Changes Made

### Grammar Rule Update

Modified the `vectorSearchColumnReferenceExpression` rule in `SqlScriptDom/Parser/TSql/TSql170.g` to allow up to 4-part identifiers instead of the previous 2-part limit. This change enables the TOP_N parameter to accept:
- Simple identifiers: `@variable` or `columnName`
- 2-part identifiers: `table.column`
- 3-part identifiers: `schema.table.column` (the primary use case from the issue)
- 4-part identifiers: `database.schema.table.column`

The change was minimal—updating a single parameter from `multiPartIdentifier[2]` to `multiPartIdentifier[4]` in line 33971 of TSql170.g. This aligns with standard SQL Server column reference behavior in other contexts.

### Test Coverage

Added comprehensive test coverage in `Test/SqlDom/TestScripts/VectorSearchCrossApplyTests170.sql` with a test case that validates the exact query pattern from the issue. The test includes:
- A DECLARE statement setting up a VECTOR variable
- A SELECT query with CROSS APPLY using VECTOR_SEARCH
- The TOP_N parameter specified as a 3-part identifier (`dbo.qt.top_n`)

The corresponding baseline file `Test/SqlDom/Baselines170/VectorSearchCrossApplyTests170.sql` captures the expected formatted output from the parser.

Updated `Test/SqlDom/Only170SyntaxTests.cs` to register the new test case with appropriate error counts for older parser versions (TSql80 through TSql160), which still use the 2-part identifier limit and correctly report parse errors for this syntax.

## Impact

This change only affects the TSql170 (SQL Server 2025) parser and is backward compatible. The AST definition already used `ScalarExpression` for the TopN member, so no AST changes were required. Older parser versions continue to enforce the 2-part identifier limit and generate expected parse errors for 3-part identifiers.

The fix enables real-world scenarios where VECTOR_SEARCH is used in CROSS APPLY with outer references that require schema qualification, which is common in production databases with explicit schema naming conventions.

Fixes: #4843961

* Merged PR 1881565: ## Fix VECTOR_SEARCH SIMILAR_TO Parameter to Reject Subqueries

<!-- COPILOT_AI_GENERATED_START -->

### Summary

The VECTOR_SEARCH function in the TSql170 parser was incorrectly allowing subqueries in the SIMILAR_TO parameter. This fix adds validation to properly reject subqueries and throw an appropriate parse error, aligning with SQL Server 2025 implementation requirements.

### Problem

The SIMILAR_TO parameter was accepting any scalar expression, including subqueries wrapped in parentheses. This allowed invalid syntax like:

```sql
SELECT * FROM VECTOR_SEARCH(
    TABLE = graphnode,
    COLUMN = embedding,
    SIMILAR_TO = (SELECT TOP 1 embedding FROM GTQuery),  -- Should error but didn&#39;t
    METRIC = &#39;euclidean&#39;,
    TOP_N = 20
) AS ann
```

This syntax should be rejected because subqueries are not supported in the SIMILAR_TO parameter, similar to how they are restricted in other contexts.

### Solution

Added validation logic in the `vectorSearchTableReference` grammar rule (`SqlScriptDom/Parser/TSql/TSql170.g`) that checks if the SIMILAR_TO expression is a `ScalarSubquery` type. When detected, the parser now throws a SQL46098 error with the message &quot;Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.&quot;

The validation follows the same pattern used elsewhere in the grammar for similar restrictions and is placed immediately after matching the SIMILAR_TO identifier, before assigning the expression to the result object.

### Testing

Added a comprehensive error test case in `Test/SqlDom/ParserErrorsTests.cs` within the existing `VectorSearchErrorTest170` method. The test verifies that:
- Subqueries in the SIMILAR_TO parameter are properly rejected
- The correct error code (SQL46098) is generated
- The error position is accurately reported

Valid syntax continues to work correctly, including:
- Variables: `SIMILAR_TO = @qv`
- Column references: `SIMILAR_TO = outerref.vector_col`
- Other scalar expressions that are not subqueries

### Impact

- **All 558 existing tests pass** with no regressions
- **Minimal change**: Only 12 lines added across 2 files
- **Consistent behavior**: Uses the same error code and message pattern as other subquery restrictions in the parser
- **Backward compatible**: Only rejects previously invalid syntax that should not have been allowed
