Record inline CHECK constraints for listed columns.

If ALTER TABLE t ADD (a INT CHECK (a > 0)) succeeds, record_add_column does not persist the inline CHECK metadata. The separate tableConstraintDef pass does not process a check nested in columnDefinition. Table recreation reads CHECK clauses from check_constraints, so it can omit this constraint and accept a = 0.

This limitation also existed in the pre-existing single-column ADD COLUMN path because both paths call record_add_column. The PR did not introduce the limitation, but the ADD-list path still needs the same inline CHECK handling as record_create_table.

Suggested fix 
 		if ( null !== $constraint_data ) {
 			$this->insert_values(
 				$this->get_table_name( $table_is_temporary, 'table_constraints' ),
 				$constraint_data
 			);
 		}
+
+		$check_constraint_data = $this->extract_check_constraint_data( $node, $table_name );
+		if ( null !== $check_constraint_data ) {
+			$this->insert_values(
+				$this->get_table_name( $table_is_temporary, 'check_constraints' ),
+				$check_constraint_data
+			);
+		}
 	}

at line 670:
Update the ADD-list handling around get_descendant_nodes('columnDefinition') so
inline CHECK constraints are persisted to check_constraints, reusing the
extraction behavior used by record_create_table. Ensure the shared
record_add_column path records this metadata for both listed and single-column
additions.

I created #562 to track the inline CHECK gaps, including the existing single-column ADD case. I'll keep this PR focused on parenthesized ADD lists.

@JanJakes Understood. The inline CHECK gap predates this PR, so tracking it in #562 is reasonable. I won’t request that fix in this PR; keep this change focused on parenthesized ADD lists.
