fix(data): strip any table alias in missing-column matcher, not just s.
The graceful-degradation fallback keys off the column named in a Postgres
UndefinedColumn error, but the matcher only stripped an `s.` alias. The two
new dim_location columns (county, parliamentary_constituency) are selected
via the `l.` alias and Postgres reports them unquoted as
"column l.county does not exist" — which the old regex failed to match at
all, returning None.

If dim_school is rebuilt (telephone/nursery present) but dim_location is not
yet (county/parliamentary_constituency missing) — plausible since they are
independently-rebuilt dbt models — the fallback branch never matched and
load_school_data_as_dataframe() returned an empty DataFrame, showing zero
schools sitewide instead of degrading those columns to NULL.

Generalise the alias prefix to `\w+\.` and cover the l.-qualified case in
tests.
