Fixes #34930.
Previously, we could have two well-typed CASE statements that had a
valid binary overload and thus would pass semantic analysis. However,
via SimplifyCaseWhenConstValue, we could fold away the CASEs, leaving us
with only two untyped NULLs (which will not have a valid overload).
The "right" thing to do might be to change the type-checker to have the
NULLs come in through the AST as typed, but this is a bigger change
since the current AST has no notion of a typed null (there's only a
singleton NULL).
Release note (bug fix): fix a panic that could occur via certain
patterns of folding CASE statements containing NULLs.
