This change extends table-valued function support by allowing arguments
to be column references, not only literals.
Virtual tables can now reject a plan by returning an error from
best_index (e.g., when a TVF argument references a table that appears
later in the join order). The planner using this information excludes
invalid plans during join order search.

This PR replaces the `Name(pub String)` struct with a `Name` enum that
explicitly models how the name appeared in the source either as an
unquoted identifier (`Ident`) or a quoted string (`Quoted`).
In the process, the separate `Id` wrapper type has been coalesced into
the `Name` enum, simplifying the AST and reducing duplication in
identifier handling logic.
While this increases the size of some AST nodes (notably
`yyStackEntry`).

Support for attaching databases. The main difference from SQLite is that
we support an arbitrary number of attached databases, and we are not
bound to just 100ish.
We for now only support read-only databases. We open them as read-only,
but also, to keep things simple, we don't patch any of the insert
machinery to resolve foreign tables. So if an insert is tried on an
attached database, it will just fail with a "no such table" error - this
is perfect for now.
The code in core/translate/attach.rs is written by Claude, who also
played a key part in the boilerplate for stuff like the .databases
command and extending the pragma database_list, and also aided me in
the test cases.
This commit replaces the `Name(pub String)` struct with a `Name` enum that
explicitly models how the name appeared in the source either as an
unquoted identifier (`Ident`) or a quoted string (`Quoted`).
In the process, the separate `Id` wrapper type has been coalesced into the
`Name` enum, simplifying the AST and reducing duplication in identifier
handling logic.
While this increases the size of some AST nodes (notably `yyStackEntry`),
it improves correctness and makes source structure more explicit for
later phases.
For example, if we attempt to do `max(*)`, let's return the error
message from `resolve_function()` to be compatible with SQLite:
```
sqlite> CREATE TABLE test1(f1, f2);
sqlite> SELECT max(*) FROM test1;
Parse error: wrong number of arguments to function max()
SELECT max(*) FROM test1;
^--- error here
```
Spotted by SQLite TCL tests.
We're now mixing different error messages, which makes compatibility
testing pretty hard. Unify on a single, SQLite compatible error message
"no such table".
Makes it easier to test the feature:
```
$ cargo run -- --experimental-indexes
Limbo v0.0.22
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database
limbo> CREATE TABLE t(x);
limbo> CREATE INDEX t_idx ON t(x);
limbo> DROP INDEX t_idx;
```
Currently our "table id"/"table no"/"table idx" references always
use the direct index of the `TableReference` in the plan, e.g. in
`SelectPlan::table_references`. For example:
```rust
Expr::Column { table: 0, column: 3, .. }
```
refers to the 0'th table in the `table_references` list.
This is a fragile approach because it assumes the table_references
list is stable for the lifetime of the query processing. This has so
far been the case, but there exist certain query transformations,
e.g. subquery unnesting, that may fold new table references from
a subquery (which has its own table ref list) into the table reference
list of the parent.
If such a transformation is made, then potentially all of the Expr::Column
references to tables will become invalid. Consider this example:
```sql
-- Assume tables: users(id, age), orders(user_id, amount)
-- Get total amount spent per user on orders over $100
SELECT u.id, sub.total
FROM users u JOIN
(SELECT user_id, SUM(amount) as total
FROM orders o
WHERE o.amount > 100
GROUP BY o.user_id) sub
WHERE u.id = sub.user_id
-- Before subquery unnesting:
-- Main query table_references: [users, sub]
-- u.id refers to table 0, column 0
-- sub.total refers to table 1, column 1
--
-- Subquery table_references: [orders]
-- o.user_id refers to table 0, column 0
-- o.amount refers to table 0, column 1
--
-- After unnesting and folding subquery tables into main query,
-- the query might look like this:
SELECT u.id, SUM(o.amount) as total
FROM users u JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id
WHERE o.amount > 100
GROUP BY u.id;
-- Main query table_references: [users, orders]
-- u.id refers to table index 0 (correct)
-- o.amount refers to table index 0 (incorrect, should be 1)
-- o.user_id refers to table index 0 (incorrect, should be 1)
```
We could ofc traverse every expression in the subquery and rewrite
the table indexes to be correct, but if we instead use stable identifiers
for each table reference, then all the column references will continue
to be correct.
Hence, this PR introduces a `TableInternalId` used in `TableReference`
as well as `Expr::Column` and `Expr::Rowid` so that this kind of query
transformations can happen with less pain.
Previously the Operation enum consisted of:
- Operation::Scan
- Operation::Search
- Operation::Subquery
Which was always a dumb hack because what we really are doing is an
Operation::Scan on a "virtual"/"pseudo" table (overloaded names...)
derived from a subquery appearing in the FROM clause.
Hence, refactor the relevant data structures so that the Table enum now
contains a new variant:
Table::FromClauseSubquery
And the Operation enum only consists of Scan and Search.
```
SELECT * FROM (SELECT ...) sub;
-- the subquery here was previously interpreted as Operation::Subquery on a Table::Pseudo,
-- with a lot of special handling for Operation::Subquery in different code paths
-- now it's an Operation::Scan on a Table::FromClauseSubquery
```
No functional changes (intended, at least!)
