fix(jdbc): Use NVARCHAR for Spring Batch SQL Server metadata (#5064)

Spring Batch SQL Server metadata tables default to VARCHAR, but the Microsoft JDBC driver sends strings as NVARCHAR.
This mismatch causes implicit conversions, slows queries, and increases deadlock risk.

Update schema-sqlserver.sql to use NVARCHAR for all string columns, aligning with the driver and improving performance.
