java.sql.Types constants are int values and therefore make it tedious to read and debug the code.
SQLType values are mostly enum constants which are much nicer to use.

This is achieved by passing the full availabe type information of the conversion target to the conversion service.
This broke a test which wasn't functional in the first place which becomes obvious when adding the proper assertion.

With older versions H2 returned a proprietary instance of `TimestampWithTimeZone` from `ResultSet.getObject()`.
We used to support the conversion of that to an `OffsetDateTime`.
With the most recent versions `TimestampWithTimeZone` is no longer part of the H2 driver, and we only register the converter when we encounter older versions of H2.

Removed jetbrains annotation.
Removed attempt to cache annotation lookup.
Those lookups are already cached and obtaining them in the constructor causes overhead when they aren't requested at all.
Limit the use of Optional.

Simplified the code structure.
Ensured backward compatibility by recreating some methods often immediately deprecating them.
Moved new classes to the places where they belong, so that the package ...core.sql.render depends on ...core.dialect and not the other way round.
This causes dependency cycles because dependencies in the other direction already exists.
This will be properly fixed by #1105.
For now the offending classes are ignored by the DependencyTests.

Polishing
The new Testcontainers version comes with a standard Oracle image configured and doesn't work with the one we used so far.
Making the standard image work required some tweaks to the setup so that the test user has the required privileges.

Remove unecessary toString calls. Make Cast.create public to align with other factory methods. Fix AbstractSegment.toString
See #1066
Original pull request: #1071.
Example: Expressions.cast(table_user.column("name"),"VARCHAR2")
Also adds a toString to AbstractSegment to avoid stack overflows.
