IIn CockroachDB and Postgres, it is possible to declare
cursors with special characters enclosed within double
quotes, for e.g. "1-2-3". Currently, we store the name
as an unescaped string which causes problems during the
pgwire DESCRIBE step for looking up the cursor. We should
be storing using the tree.Name datatype for the cursor name
while storing and looking up cursors. This PR updates the code
to start using tree.Name instead of raw strings for handling
cursor names. This fixes the issue where the pgwire DESCRIBE
step fails while attempting to look up cursors with names
containing special characters.
Resolves #84261
Release note (bug fix): The pgwire DESCRIBE step no longer
fails with an error while attempting to look up cursors
declared with names containing special characters.
Release justification: bug fix
