fix(pgregress): resolve arrays and tuplesort regression failures

Fixed arrays.sql failures by ignoring keyword 'NULL' in psql variable detection (fixing [1:NULL] syntax). Fixed tuplesort.sql failures by improving statement splitting (handling mid-line \gset and CRLF) and supporting 'EXPLAIN :var' via substitution. Updated known_failures.json to reflect 100% pass rate for these files.
