Fix ExecSubPlan to handle nulls per the SQL spec --- it didn't combine

nulls with non-nulls using proper three-valued boolean logic.  Also clean
up ExecQual to make it clearer that ExecQual *does* follow the SQL spec
for boolean nulls.  See '[BUGS] (null) != (null)' thread around 10/26/99
for more detail.

* For all sublink types except EXPR_SUBLINK, the result type is
* boolean, and we have a fairly clear idea of how to combine multiple
* subitems and deal with NULL values or an empty subplan result.
* For all sublink types except EXPR_SUBLINK, the result is boolean
* as are the results of the combining operators. We combine results
* within a tuple (if there are multiple columns) using OR semantics
* if "useor" is true, AND semantics if not. We then combine results
* across tuples (if the subplan produces more than one) using OR
* semantics for ANY_SUBLINK or AND semantics for ALL_SUBLINK. NULL
* results from the combining operators are handled according to the
* usual SQL semantics for OR and AND. The result for no input
* tuples is FALSE for ANY_SUBLINK, TRUE for ALL_SUBLINK.
*
* For EXPR_SUBLINK, the result type is whatever the combining operator
* returns. We have no way to deal with more than one column in the
* subplan result --- hopefully the parser forbids that. More
* seriously, it's unclear what to do with NULL values or an empty
* subplan result. For now, we error out, but should something else
* happen?
* For EXPR_SUBLINK we require the subplan to produce no more than one
* tuple, else an error is raised. If zero tuples are produced, we
* return NULL. (XXX it would probably be more correct to evaluate
* the combining operator with a NULL input?) Assuming we get a tuple:
* if there is only one column then we just return its result as-is, NULL
* or otherwise. If there is more than one column we combine the results
* per "useor" --- this only makes sense if the combining operators yield
* boolean, and we assume the parser has checked that.
