What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Fix DESCRIBE FORMATTED for STRUCT datatype columns output
Why are the changes needed?
Currently, when we have a table with STRUCT datatype column, running the DESCRIBE FORMATTED query on the particular STRUCT column produces wrong output,
For Exm:
CREATE TABLE tbl_t (id int, point STRUCT<x:INT, y:INT>);DESCRIBE FORMATTED tbl_t point;gives the following output:

Here as we can observe that the col_name & data_type are wrong & instead should be point & struct<x:int,y:int> respectively.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
