Improve Vertica support in scalding-db #1655

I've been attempting to read data from Vertica using scalding-db. I've found that a few of Vertica's type names differ slightly from MySQL's type names, but other than that scalding-db has worked.

This pull request widens the set of mapped type names. It includes unit tests to verify the new type names are accepted. I've tested this with a simple exporter for a Vertica table containing date, varchar, and integer columns.
