Pull request overview
This PR fixes issue #195 by implementing topological sorting for PostgreSQL type creation to ensure types are created in the correct dependency order. Previously, types were sorted alphabetically (with domains last), which could fail when composite types reference other custom types like enums.
Key changes:
- Replaced simple alphabetical sorting with dependency-aware topological sorting using Kahn's algorithm
- Added support for detecting type-to-type dependencies in composite types and domain types
- Added test case demonstrating correct ordering of enum and composite types with dependencies
