Add Support for Mathematical Minus Character in Queries

Add support for mathematical minus character in queries, similar to -. #54100 (Alexey Milovidov).
Add support for the mathematical minus character as an alternative to the standard hyphen-minus - in ClickHouse SQL queries.

Why it matters

This feature improves query parsing by allowing the use of the true mathematical minus symbol , which visually differs from the hyphen-minus, thereby increasing readability and compatibility with queries copied from mathematical texts or editors.

How to use it

Users can freely use the mathematical minus character in their queries wherever the standard minus operator - is valid. No additional configuration is needed; the parser automatically recognizes and treats as a minus operator.
