Fixes: #90570
Previously, the mutation state were not properly propagated for virtual columns, so during active schema changes certain queries could potentially fail. This was inadequate specifically when problematic if we had cascaded drop columns, where a virtual column could be dropped as a side effect. It was possible for "SELECT *" to fail in certain scenarios. To address this, this patch will propogate the mutation state for virtual computed columns.
Release note (bug fix): SELECT * operations on tables with virtual computed columns under going schema changes could potentially fail.
Release justification: low risk fix that addresses query errors during schema changes.
