Description

Migrated from [DBZ-614](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-614)

TypeRegistry#get() only accepts an int, but the original inbound type id type is long, so we should avoid that downcast to prevent any value loss.

Research direction

Start by locating the PostgreSQL type-handling code and TypeRegistry#get(), then trace the inbound type ID from its original long representation to that lookup. Confirm the change preserves the full value without a downcast and verify the existing PostgreSQL type-handling tests, if present, cover large IDs.
