test(api): pin UnifiedQueryContext PATTERN_* defaults via planner test

Per @dai-chen: verify the RelNode produced when `patterns <field>` is run
without explicit method=/mode= args — exercises that the PATTERN_METHOD and
PATTERN_MODE defaults flow through to AstBuilder.visitPatternsCommand and
produce a valid SIMPLE/LABEL lowering with a `patterns_field` projection.
