4d516bece8 [feature-wip](array-type)Add element_at and subscript functions (#8597)
Describe the overview of changes.
1. add function element_at;
2. support element_subscript([]) to get element of array, col_array[N] <==> element_at(col_array, N);
3. return error message instead of BE crash while array function execute failed;

element_at(array, index) desc:
>   Returns element of array at given **(1-based)** index. 
  If **index < 0**, accesses elements from the last to the first. 
  Returns NULL if the index exceeds the length of the array or the array is NULL.

Usage example:
1. create table with ARRAY type column and insert some data:
```
+------+------+--------+
| k1   | k2   | k3     |
+------+------+--------+
|    1 |    2 | [1, 2] |
|    2 |    3 | NULL   |
|    4 | NULL | []     |
|    3 | NULL | NULL   |
+------+------+--------+
```
2. enable vectorized:
```
set enable_vectorized_engine=true;
```
3. element_subscript([]) usage example:
```
> select k1,k3,k3[1] from array_test;
+------+--------+----------------------------+
| k1   | k3     | %element_extract%(`k3`, 1) |
+------+--------+----------------------------+
|    3 | NULL   |                       NULL |
|    1 | [1, 2] |                          1 |
|    2 | NULL   |                       NULL |
|    4 | []     |                       NULL |
+------+--------+----------------------------+
```
4. element_at function usage example:
```
> select k1,k3 from array_test where element_at(k3, -1) = 2;
+------+--------+
| k1   | k3     |
+------+--------+
|    1 | [1, 2] |
+------+--------+
```
