Description

vtexplain now recognizes sequence tables when the DDL uses uppercase or mixed-case COMMENT. The parser preserves table-option keyword casing, so the previous case-sensitive comparison omitted the vitess_sequence metadata.

The option keyword comparison now uses strings.EqualFold, while the vitess_sequence sentinel remains exact. The regression test exercises lowercase, uppercase, and mixed-case forms through the user-visible vtexplain insert path.
