Port of #30566
Port of #30568

Fixes #30266
Fixes #30565

Description

Projecting JSON entity or JSON collection combined with projecting of regular entity collection fails (with unhelpful message) during compile time. Workaround exists but it's not very discoverable and requires query rewrite (project entire entity and bring back the requested collection by applying include beforehand).

Customer impact

Queries with affected entities throw during compilation.

How found

Multiple customer reports on 7.0

Regression

No. JSON support is new functionality in 7.0.

Testing

Added regression tests for affected scenarios.

Risk

Low: While scenario is quite common, the fix is isolated to only affecting the scenario (i.e. when entity collection is projected along with json entity/collection). Moreover, fix is to apply the same logic that we use for non-JSON entity scenarios, so we have good degree of confidence that the logic is sound.

Those two issues are very closely related. Initially we thought that fix for #30565 would be significantly more risky/complex, so we split the bugs apart, but we were able to find a better fix that is only marginally more risky than #30266 and the resulting risk for combined issue is still low.

Added quirk to revert to old behavior if necessary.

…as regular entity collection

#30266

Problem was that when we projection collection of entities we use result coordinator and generate different pattern in shaper code. Json entity shaper code is generated inside `resultContext.Values == null` block and all the products should be referred to via resultContext.Values array access.
We were not doing that for json, so in the final projection code we would refer to parameters (storing the actual json entities) that were out of scope.
Fix is to use the correct result coordinator pattern, just like we do for non-json entities.

#30565

When we project entity collection, the shaper uses result coordinator and generates different shaper. However we process this scenario as if "regular" code path was being executed. Basically, we would generate code for collection projection outside of `resultContext.Values == null` block (this needs to happen for regular collections due to result coordination). For JSON it's not needed, because entire object is loaded from a single row. So we can move the processing into the block and then just refer to it's product in the final projection. We also need to shuffle around the order in which we build the block. We should build expressions and json entities first, then populate resultContext and then build includes (which depend on values in the context). Before we were populating result values before we generated json entities, (which didn't matter because we were not using that info) but now is necessary.
