Exclude hidden columns from table type field definitions

Use ALL_TAB_COLUMNS instead of ALL_TAB_COLS when querying column
definitions for table/view type parameters. ALL_TAB_COLUMNS excludes
hidden columns (e.g., those created by functional indexes) by default,
and is available in all supported Oracle versions including 11g.
