[SPARK-XXXX][SQL] Can't add subquery to an operator with same-name outputs while generate SQL string ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? This PR tries to solve a fundamental issue in the `SQLBuilder`. When we want to turn a logical plan into SQL string and put it after FROM clause, we need to wrap it with a sub-query. However, a logical plan is allowed to have same-name outputs with different qualifiers(e.g. the `Join` operator), and this kind of plan can't be put under a subquery as we will erase and assign a new qualifier to all outputs and make it impossible to distinguish same-name outputs. To solve this problem, this PR renames all attributes with globally unique names(using exprId), so that we don't need qualifiers to resolve ambiguity anymore. ## How was this patch tested? existing tests and new tests in LogicalPlanToSQLSuite.
