Previously, the format_type builtin did not correctly include length information for the contents of an array. So, if we formatted an array of VARCHAR(32) the length would not be included, which leads to an incompatibility with Postgres. This patch passes the typemod information down, formatting the array's contents, which leads to the correct behaviour.
Fixes: #110539
Release note (bug fix): format_type builtin did not honour typemod information for array types, leading to incorrect output.
