Subject: [PATCH] sql: fix some type / string conversion brokenness

This ensures that e.g. `drop type "a+b"` works if there is a type
indeed named `a+b`.

Release note (bug fix): DROP TYPE and certain other statements that
work over SQL scalar types now properly support type names containing
special characters.
