Joshen Lim a1abc2d00f Refactor table editor logic for handling null and undefined values (#44331)
## Context

Resolves https://github.com/supabase/supabase/issues/43548

There's currently an issue with the Table Editor where if you have, for
example, a nullable `text` column with a default value, inserting a new
row and selecting "Set to NULL" doesn't do anything, and saving will
insert the row with the default value

/>

This stems from a legacy logic in the Table Editor whereby we treat
`null` values as "no input" - which is incorrect as `null` values are
also valid values. So the PR here changes a few things to resolve this
properly:

## Changes involved
Main fix: 
- `undefined` will be the "no input" value instead, and it'll be the
default value when generating the row object for inserting a new row
- `NULL` or even empty string like `''` will be treated as they are
(valid inputs)

Secondary adjustments:
- (Queue operations) Queueing an insert with no value but default value
is NULL, will show the placeholder as `DEFAULT` instead of `NULL` for
better accuracy in representation

/>
- Added a `Set to Default` CTA here, but will only show up if adding a
new row or updating a queued insert row operation, which will set the
value of the input field back to `undefined` for PG to handle it as the
default value

## To test
Verify within the Table Editor (along with queue operation feature
preview)
- For inserting a new row, setting value to NULL and setting value to
Default works
- For updating a row, setting value to NULL works
