bug: `jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError` when loading `information_schema`

Overview

Trying to debug this issue from Slack and getting a jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError when loading information_schema views with target-jsonl:

Reproduce

docker run --rm -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust -p 5432:5432 postgres

git clone git@github.com:MeltanoLabs/tap-postgres.git
cd tap-postgres
meltano install
meltano invoke tap-postgres | meltano invoke target-jsonl

Workaround

Deselect the information_schema streams (related to #54):

meltano select tap-postgres --exclude 'information_schema-*'
meltano select tap-postgres --all

Or just select the public schema:

meltano select tap-postgres 'public-*'
