HHH-18581 Introduce `supportsBindingNullSqlTypeForSetNull()` and `supportsBindingNullForSetObject()` for `Dialect` to optimize binding null

The method `PreparedStatement.getParameterMetaData().getParameterType(int)` call is expensive for some JDBC driver such as pgJDBC, we should avoid it if the driver supports binding `Types.NULL` for `setNull()` or `null` for `setObject()`.
