What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #37165

Problem Summary:

What is changed and how it works?

The main purpose of this pr is to improve the execution speed of count(), and rewrite count() to count (the narrowest non-null column) at the planning layer to achieve the purpose of improving performance.

  1. Added a countStarRewriter logical rule responsible for rewriting count(*) to count(the narrowest non-null column).
  2. When the columns of the datasource are empty, column pruning will supplement the narrowest non-null column instead of the row id column (in the case of TiFlash)

For detailed rewriting steps, see comments of countStarRewriter

Any benchmark for this case? In TiFlash, there are extra three columns <row_id, version, delmark> which are used for MVCC. Therefore, if there are multi version of data, we need to scan <row_id, version, delmark> each query additionally. For count(1) we need to scan <row_id, version, delmark> and return row_id to aggregation, but for count(k) we need to scan <row_id, version, delmark, k1> and return k1 to aggregation. So the performance may degrade when there are multi version of data in TiFlash and k1 is wide.

I am doing performance testing.
Do you mean that in the case of multiple versions, even if the count(*) does not select the row_id column, the final read will still read the row_id column?

yes, we need to use it to filter out other data of other versions.
