What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR fixes the DROP operator in pipe syntax (|>) to support qualified column names.
Why are the changes needed?
Previously, the DROP operator in pipe syntax only accepted simple identifiers due to the use of identifierSeq in the grammar. This prevented users from dropping struct fields using qualified names
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Yes. Users can now use qualified column names with the DROP pipe operator.
