SUMMARY

When executing a chart query with a virtual table that contains a literal value with a colon suffixed by text characters, SQLAlchemy interprets these as being bind parameters when wrapped in a text element and compiled. This PR ensures that these are escaped using the same pattern that SQLAlchemy uses to detect bind parameters (the regex is available as a private variable in TextClause). Relevant test cases are added (notice that the Postgres cast to ::TIMESTAMP is not escaped, as SQLAlchemy doesn't consider it to be a bind parameter). To my knowledge there is no cleaner way to do this, and I also found several threads where the author of SQLAlchemy instructed people to solve this issue by mechanically escaping the colon in the statement, which is what this proposal in practice does.

Closes #17098

When executing the query SELECT ':00 :abc' as abc, 123 as num in SQL Lab, the query executes succesfully:

BEFORE

When used as a virtual table in a chart query, SQLAlchemy interprets there to be two bind parameters present, namely 00 and abc, resulting in the following error:

AFTER

After escaping the bind-like strings, the query renders as expected.
