* Problem:
Inconsistent behavior occurs when executing partial column update `UPDATE` statements and `INSERT` statements on merge-on-write tables with the Nereids optimizer enabled. The number of columns passed to BE differs; `UPDATE` operations incorrectly pass all columns, while `INSERT` operations correctly pass only the updated columns.
Reason:
The Nereids optimizer does not handle partial column update `UPDATE` statements properly. The processing logic for `UPDATE` statements rewrites them as equivalent `INSERT` statements, which are then processed according to the logic of `INSERT` statements. For example, assuming a MoW table structure with columns k1, k2, v1, v2, the correct rewrite should be:
* `UPDATE` table t1 set v1 = v1 + 1 where k1 = 1 and k2 = 2
* =>
* `INSERT` into table (v1) select v1 + 1 from table t1 where k1 = 1 and k2 = 2
However, the actual rewriting process does not consider the logic for partial column updates, leading to all columns being included in the `INSERT` statement, i.e., the result is:
* `INSERT` into table (k1, k2, v1, v2) select k1, k2, v1 + 1, v2 from table t1 where k1 = 1 and k2 = 2
This results in `UPDATE` operations incorrectly passing all columns to BE.
Solution:
Having analyzed the cause, the solution is straightforward: when rewriting partial column update `UPDATE` statements to `INSERT` statements, only retain the updated columns and all key columns (as partial column updates must include all key columns). Additionally, this PR includes error injection cases to verify the number of columns passed to BE is correct.

Problem:
When partially updating columns without specifying the auto-increment column, and the imported data contains new keys, an error stating the auto-increment column could not be found occurs.
Reason:
The logic for partial column updates does not account for new keys in auto-increment columns. Since auto-increment columns can be generated by the system, it's possible to omit this column data during import. However, partial column updates treat this as a regular column, expecting it to be nullable or have a default value for automatic filling, overlooking the fact that auto-increment columns can also be auto-filled. This oversight leads to the error.
Solution:
Incorporate a check for auto-increment columns into the partial column update logic, and include the logic for generating auto-increment column values in the process of completing partial updates.
