Fix PostgreSQL numeric type mapping in goctl model generation

Environment

• Go: 1.24
• go-zero: 1.8.4
• goctl: 1.8.4
• PostgreSQL: 15.13 on x86_64-pc-linux-musl

Description

This PR fixes an issue where PostgreSQL numeric and decimal types are incorrectly mapped to double in the PostgreSQL to MySQL type mapping, preventing users from properly customizing type mappings for high-precision numeric fields.

Problem

When using goctl model command to generate ORM code, numeric type fields are mapped to float64. While this works in most cases, it causes issues when users try to customize type mappings according to the [official documentation](https://go-zero.dev/en/docs/tutorials/cli/model#type-mapping-customization).

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a PostgreSQL table with numeric type:

CREATE TABLE users (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    balance NUMERIC(10,2) NOT NULL
);

2. Create a custom type mapping configuration file:

numeric:
  null_type: decimal.NullDecimal
  pkg: github.com/shopspring/decimal
  type: decimal.Decimal

3. Run goctl model command with the custom configuration:

goctl model pg datasource -url "postgres://user:password@localhost/db" -table users -c

4. Expected Result: Generated struct should use decimal.Decimal type
5. Actual Result: Generated struct still uses float64 type, custom mapping is ignored

Root Cause

The current mapping in postgresqlmodel.go incorrectly maps high-precision types:

var p2m = map[string]string{
    "int8":        "bigint",
    "numeric":     "double",  // ❌ Incorrect mapping - overrides user configuration
    "decimal":     "double",  // ❌ Incorrect mapping - overrides user configuration
    "float8":      "double",
    "float4":      "float",
    "int2":        "smallint",
    "int4":        "integer",
    "timestamptz": "timestamp",
}

This hardcoded mapping converts PostgreSQL numeric to MySQL double type, which then gets mapped to Go's float64. This prevents the custom type mapping from taking effect, as the hardcoded mapping takes precedence.

PostgreSQL numeric and decimal types are high-precision types (similar to MySQL's decimal), and should not be automatically converted to double as this can lead to precision loss and user confusion.

Solution

• Remove the incorrect mappings for numeric and decimal types from the p2m map
• Add default type mappings in default.yaml to provide clear guidance for users
• Allow users to customize these mappings without interference from hardcoded mappings

Changes Made

1. Updated postgresqlmodel.go:

   • Removed "numeric": "double" mapping
   • Removed "decimal": "double" mapping

2. Updated default.yaml:

   • Added proper default mappings for numeric and decimal types
   • Improved documentation for type mapping customization

Testing

• ✅ Verified that numeric fields are no longer automatically mapped to double
• ✅ Confirmed that custom type mappings now work as expected
• ✅ Tested with various PostgreSQL numeric precision scenarios
• ✅ Ensured backward compatibility for existing projects

Impact

Before

// Generated code would always use float64 for numeric fields
type User struct {
    Balance float64 `json:"balance"` // Loss of precision possible
}

After

// Users can now properly customize numeric type mappings
type User struct {
    Balance decimal.Decimal `json:"balance"` // High precision maintained
}

Breaking Changes

This change is non-breaking as it only removes incorrect automatic mappings and allows proper customization. Existing code that relies on the default float64 mapping can continue to work by explicitly defining the mapping in their configuration.

Documentation Impact

This fix aligns the behavior with the official documentation and makes the type mapping customization feature work as intended.
