fix(sql): validate array type parameter to prevent SQL injection

The `sql.array(values, type)` function interpolated the user-provided
type string directly into the SQL query without validation, allowing
SQL injection via crafted type names like `INT); DROP TABLE users--`.

Add character validation in `getArrayType()` to reject type names
containing characters outside [a-zA-Z0-9_ .], which covers all valid
PostgreSQL type names (including schema-qualified names like
`myschema.INTEGER`) while blocking injection payloads. Uses
`$ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE` for consistency with the rest of the codebase.
