Description
This new operator, CONCAT_OR_NULL adds a variant of concat behavior where concat'ing null with another value returns null. Our current CONCAT operator returns the value in this case (would rather flip this behavior and have the null propagate by default, but that's breaking). Similar behavior variants are present in SQL databases such as https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/set-concat-null-yields-null-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15#:~:text=When%20SET%20CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL%20is%20ON,treated%20as%20an%20empty%20string).
Testing
Added UT, verified E2E
