Supports PostgreSQL's `citext` type in function
### What problem are you trying to solve?

I have a minimal reproduction repo for this problem: [ChrisTorng/PostgreSqlCitext/BeforeFix](https://github.com/ChrisTorng/PostgreSqlCitext/tree/main/BeforeFix).

---

I'm using 4/6/2026 2.6.1465 version of [EF Core Power Tools](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ErikEJ.EFCorePowerTools) to do Reverse Engineering.

There are four problems I'm facing:

1. For function with `citext` parameter, EFCPT can't generate codes.
2. For function with `citext` return value, EFCPT can't generate codes, with different error.
3. The generation stops without other normal ones generated, and not showing which item causes the problem.
4. The renaming of function returned table column doesn't work on Edit UI or on `efpt.renaming.json`.

This Feature Request focuses on problem 1/2/3.

### Problem 1: `citext` parameter in function

For a simple [`sql/testcitextin.sql`](https://github.com/ChrisTorng/PostgreSqlCitext/blob/master/sql/testcitextin.sql), using original EF Core Power Tools to refresh [`BeforeFix/efpt.testcitextin.config.json`](https://github.com/ChrisTorng/PostgreSqlCitext/blob/master/BeforeFix/efpt.testcitextin.config.json), it ends up this error message:
```
