Implement new ClauseElement role and coercion system
A major refactoring of all the functions handle all detection of Core argument types as well as perform coercions into a new class hierarchy based on "roles", each of which identify a syntactical location within a SQL statement. In contrast to the ClauseElement hierarchy that identifies "what" each object is syntactically, the SQLRole hierarchy identifies the "where does it go" of each object syntactically. From this we define a consistent type checking and coercion system that establishes well defined behviors. This is a breakout of the patch that is reorganizing select() constructs to no longer be in the FromClause hierarchy. Also includes a rename of as_scalar() into scalar_subquery(); deprecates automatic coercion to scalar_subquery(). Partially-fixes: #4617 Change-Id: I26f1e78898693c6b99ef7ea2f4e7dfd0e8e1a1bd
