Fix duplicate JSON column in TPT child tables for complex types declared on base entity type

When a complex property is mapped to JSON on a base entity type in a TPT
hierarchy, the JSON column was being incorrectly created in child tables
in addition to the base table. This is because `GetComplexProperties()`
returns inherited properties, and there was no equivalent of the
`GetColumnName(mappedTable) == null` filter used for scalar properties.

The fix adds a check in `CreateTableMapping` to skip complex properties
declared on base entity types that map to a different table (TPT scenario).
TPC is excluded from this check since each TPC concrete table needs all
properties including inherited ones.

Fixes #38535
