Jussi Saurio fe65d6e991 Merge 'Performance: hoist entire expressions out of hot loops if they are constant' from Jussi Saurio
## Problem:
- We have cases where we are evaluating expressions in a hot loop that
could only be evaluated once. For example: `CAST('2025-01-01' as
DATETIME)` -- the value of this never changes, so we should only run it
once.
- We have no robust way of doing this right now for entire _expressions_
-- the only existing facility we have is
`program.mark_last_insn_constant()`, which has no concept of how many
instructions translating a given _expression_ spends, and breaks very
easily for this reason.
## Main ideas of this PR:
- Add `expr.is_constant()` determining whether the expression is
compile-time constant. Tries to be conservative and not deem something
compile-time constant if there is no certainty.
- Whenever we think a compile-time constant expression is about to be
translated into bytecode in `translate_expr()`, start a so called
`constant span`, which means a range of instructions that are part of a
compile-time constant expression.
- At the end of translating the program, all `constant spans` are
hoisted outside of any table loops so they only get evaluated once.
- The target offsets of any jump instructions (e.g. `Goto`) are moved to
the correct place, taking into account all instructions whose offsets
were shifted due to moving the compile-time constant expressions around.
- An escape hatch wrapper `translate_expr_no_constant_opt()` is added
for cases where we should not hoist constants even if we otherwise
could. Right now the only example of this is cases where we are reusing
the same register(s) in multiple iterations of some kind of loop, e.g.
`VALUES(...)` or in the `coalesce()` function implementation.
## Performance effects
Here is an example of a modified/simplified TPC-H query where the
`CAST()` calls were previously run millions of times in a hot loop, but
now they are optimized out of the loop.
