Description
There are lots of type names that are currently not supported in zetasql: https://github.com/google/zetasql/blob/master/zetasql/analyzer/resolver_test.cc#L752-L761
It would be useful if these were added as type aliases to existing types, as is pretty common practice in sql implementations:

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing type-name coverage around zetasql/analyzer/resolver_test.cc lines 752-761 and compare it with the linked BigQuery numeric-type documentation. Trace how supported names map to existing types, then add coverage for the requested aliases and verify the resolver tests pass.
