fix: Support alternative SQL Server INTO syntax and refactor to AST-based dependency analysis

Problem:
- Dependency analyzer used brittle regex parsing that failed on complex SQL (WEB CTEs with JSON)
- Parser only supported `SELECT * INTO #table FROM ...` (standard position)
- Did not support `SELECT * FROM ... INTO #table` (alternative position)
- Error: "Could not find end of table name in SELECT INTO" on WEB CTE queries

Solution:
1. Added INTO clause parsing after OFFSET to support both SQL Server syntaxes:
   - Standard: SELECT col1, col2 INTO #temp FROM table
   - Alternative: SELECT col1, col2 FROM table WHERE x > 5 INTO #temp

2. Refactored dependency analyzer to use AST-based parsing:
   - Extract into_table directly from AST (robust, maintainable)
   - Removed all brittle regex extraction functions
   - Updated tests to use SELECT ... INTO syntax

Changes:
- src/sql/recursive_parser.rs:762-770 - Added INTO parsing after OFFSET
- src/analysis/statement_dependencies.rs - Refactored to AST-based approach

Testing:
- ✅ 435 Rust tests pass (was 397)
- ✅ 511 Python tests pass
- ✅ 91 SQL example tests pass
- ✅ Dependency analysis works with both INTO syntaxes
- ✅ WEB CTE + alternative INTO syntax now works
