Description
Follow-up from the review of #19247.
Current gaps:
- `ArrayFunctions.arrayValueConstructor` returns the generic `Object[]` fallback for TIMESTAMP and UUID elements instead of preserving `Timestamp[]` and `UUID[]`.
- `LiteralContext` still rejects multi-value BOOLEAN, BIG_DECIMAL, and UUID values.
The implementation should define the correct literal/wire and internal/external representations without weakening mixed-version compatibility, then add focused serde, broker-only, single-stage, and multi-stage query coverage for each supported type.

Research direction
Start by tracing ArrayFunctions.arrayValueConstructor and LiteralContext, then inspect the existing SQL array literal and serialization tests for supported types. Verify the intended literal/wire and internal/external representations against mixed-version behavior. Add focused serde, broker-only, single-stage, and multi-stage query coverage for TIMESTAMP, UUID, BOOLEAN, and BIG_DECIMAL arrays, with all listed cases passing.
