Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix MSSQL 'unsupported token: 169' error for SQL Server
 2022

This commit resolves issue #20607 where MSSQL modules fail with 'unsupported
token: 169' when executing stored procedures against SQL Server 2022.

The error occurs because SQL Server 2022 uses the NBCROW (Null Bitmap
Compressed Row) token (0xa9/169) for stored procedure results, but the
existing parser has edge cases that cause failures.

Changes:
- Add fallback mechanism to mssql_parse_nbcrow method
- If NBCROW parsing fails, fall back to regular TDS row parsing
- Add comprehensive test coverage for the new functionality
- Maintain full backward compatibility

This fix enables proper execution of stored procedures like:
- EXEC sp_linkedservers;
- EXEC xp_cmdshell 'command';
- Other system stored procedures

Fixes #20607
