Function with name 'jsonMergePatch' does not exist

[stephencsnow]

Describe what's wrong

Neither jsonMergePatch nor JSONMergePatch is available since chdb 2.1.0.

Does it reproduce on the most recent release?

Yes - tested on 2.2.0b1

Enable crash reporting

N/A

How to reproduce

On my Mac, fresh virtualenv:

$ pip install chdb
$ python -m chdb "SELECT EXISTS(SELECT * from system.functions where name in ('JSONMergePatch', 'jsonMergePatch'))"
0

Expected behavior

Both jsonMergePatch and its alias JSONMergePatch should be available.

In 2.0.4:

$ python -m chdb "SELECT EXISTS(SELECT * from system.functions where name in ('JSONMergePatch', 'jsonMergePatch'))"
1

Error message and/or stacktrace

Further testing, just to confirm that it isn't just a system.functions issue.

$ python -m chdb "SELECT jsonMergePatch('{}', '{}') AS res"

Additional context

This works in 1.x, and 2.x versions up to 2.0.4, and fails starting in 2.1.0 onwards.
